- Akamai and Visa announced a strategic partnership to integrate Visa’s Trusted Agent Protocol with Akamai’s edge-based behavioral intelligence and user recognition to authenticate AI shopping agents and prevent fraud in agent-driven transactions.
- The collaboration helps merchants clearly identify legitimate AI agents, reliably link each agent to its consumer, and secure payment flows with real-time behavior and network intelligence to thwart malicious bots.
- The Trusted Agent Protocol is designed for minimal infrastructure changes and will scale across 175 million Visa-accepting merchant locations worldwide, facilitating secure and seamless AI-agent-enabled transactions.
- According to Akamai’s 2025 Digital Fraud and Abuse Report, AI-driven bot traffic surged 300 % year-over-year, with over 25 billion retail-sector bot requests in two months, underscoring the urgency for robust agent authentication.
- Akamai and Visa partner to integrate Visa’s Trusted Agent Protocol with Akamai Cloud security, aiming to authenticate AI shopping agents and prevent fraud in agentic commerce

- Enables merchants to verify agent intent, link agents to underlying users, and secure payment flows across 175 million Visa-accepting locations globally
- Akamai Inference Cloud launched through a partnership with NVIDIA to deploy lighter-weight GPUs (e.g., RTX 6000) at edge locations for real-time GenAI inferencing, leveraging Akamai’s distributed platform for low latency and scalability.
- Cloud Infrastructure Services (CIS) accelerated in Q3 2025, driven by hyperscaler customers and broader enterprise adoption; integration of Linode has enabled expansion to over 36 full-stack compute locations and plans for serverless container deployment at the edge.
- Security remains a core investment, targeting ~10% ARR growth inclusive of M&A; API Security (Noname) surpassed a $100 million run rate and Guardicore segmentation is growing at 30–35% ARR, both opening new customer segments beyond traditional CDN/WAF clients.
- Delivery business is stabilizing after industry consolidation, with revenue declining low- to mid-single digits and CapEx trimmed by about 50%; Akamai aims to halt the decline and leverage the segment for cash flow generation.
- At the 53rd Annual Nasdaq Investor Conference, Akamai CEO Tom Leighton highlighted the launch of the Akamai Inference Cloud, a GPU-based edge inference platform built in partnership with NVIDIA, currently deployed in 17 locations and slated to expand in India and Southeast Asia for low-latency AI workloads.
- The Inference Cloud’s unit economics target a $1 CapEx to $1 revenue ratio, with NVIDIA GPUs expected to maintain performance for 3–4 years due to steady inference demand versus high-end training workloads.
- Cloud Infrastructure Services (CIS) saw Q3 acceleration driven by hyperscalers and broad enterprise uptake; Akamai now sizes CapEx builds based on 3–6 month demand forecasts and secures long-term, growth-room data center contracts to align investment with expected traffic.
- Security remains a core investment area, with a $2 billion-plus ARR business targeting ~10% growth, bolstered by acquisitions Guardicore and Noname (API security) and the recent launch of a firewall for AI to protect emerging GenAI attack surfaces.
- Looking to 2026, Akamai’s priorities are accelerating CIS and security growth, expanding its customer base via partner-led motions and new serverless container and inference offerings, while its legacy delivery segment is expected to stabilize with low- to mid-single-digit revenue declines.
- Akamai launched its Inference Cloud in partnership with NVIDIA to deliver GPU inference at the edge, currently deployed in 17 locations with plans for larger 10 MW footprints in India and Southeast Asia to support low-latency AI applications.
- The business targets a 1:1 CapEx-to-revenue ROI on GPUs, citing that inference-optimized GPUs retain multi-year value without annual upgrades.
- Cloud Infrastructure Services (CIS) accelerated in Q3 driven by hyperscaler onboarding and broader field sales, with Inference Cloud and managed container services establishing CIS as Akamai’s primary growth engine.
- Security remains a $2 billion+ run rate; API security has surpassed $100 million ARR; M&A deals (Guardicore, Noname) are contributing 30–35% ARR growth. For 2026, Akamai will prioritize CIS adoption—especially Inference Cloud—security expansion, and new customer acquisition via partners.
