DNS hijacking can route your online traffic to harmful sites. Learn how this attack works, the risks it poses, and how to safeguard your network against it.

Learn how Certificate Posture Management helps protect TLS, ensure compliance with industry standards, and prepare for emerging threats like quantum computing.

Read how DNSSEC enhances security by adding cryptographic signatures to DNS records, ensuring data is securely transmitted over Internet Protocol (IP) networks.

Learn how Akamai Shield NS53 can protect your capital investment into on-premises DNS infrastructure and significantly improve performance.

Akamai Edge DNS offers the scale and functionality to meet ICANN’s intensive requirements for hosting a generic top-level domain (gTLD) zone in DNS.

Akamai Edge DNS service delivers edge-based, authoritative domain services for thousands of organizations.

While Unicast defines a single destination endpoint for a given IP, Anycast is an addressing technique in which the same IP is advertised from multiple servers simultaneously.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and Continuous Delivery methods have become increasingly popular amongst development and operations teams as a means of maintaining high-performing websites.

Global Traffic Management, or GTM, is a DNS-based load balancing service that offers application owners a level of flexibility and insight that is unmatched by traditional on-prem solutions.

Along with its DDoS resilience and impressive global footprint, Akamai Edge DNS offers zone administrators additional technical flexibility and implementation options to improve performance and simplify DNS operations. One example is zone apex mapping (ZAM), a feature that enables top level hostnames (e.g., akamai.com) to resolve directly to an Akamai edge IP. The popularity and appeal of ZAM do, however, prompt a number of questions about the technical specifics, such as: Is ZAM interoperable with DNSSEC?
