Netfos Scaled Secure Growth with Akamai

For over 20 years, Netfos Technology Corporation has focused on cybersecurity, serving diverse industries including finance, government, high-tech manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and ecommerce. Today, its customers want strong network security without compromising speed or stability. By providing integrated security, performance, and reliability in one platform, Akamai helped Netfos strengthen its global competitiveness.

Netfos’ customers face two major challenges. The first is securing networks without sacrificing service speed or stability. The second is simplifying multicloud management while defending against increasingly sophisticated API and application attacks. At the heart of both is the need to strike a balance between security and user experience while controlling costs.

As early as 2022, Netfos recognized the growing importance of API security and adopted the Noname API Security solution in 2023. After Akamai acquired Noname in 2024, Netfos further strengthened its approach by tapping into Akamai’s global expertise in cybersecurity and edge computing.

In 2025, Netfos became an authorized distributor of Akamai’s full portfolio, enabling it to deliver more comprehensive, enterprise-grade security solutions to customers in Taiwan. The collaboration accelerated Netfos’ digital transformation. It also helped its customers deliver safer, more efficient digital services.

Netfos’ collaboration with Akamai shows how cloud-based security can drive faster growth. After becoming an official Akamai distributor, Netfos quickly expanded into industries with high security requirements, including finance, high-tech manufacturing, and ecommerce. By augmenting its portfolio with core Akamai solutions — API Security, App & API Protector, and Edge DNS — Netfos significantly upgraded its solution capabilities. This boosted its brand image and sales.

Meanwhile, Akamai Guardicore Segmentation enabled Netfos to build multilevel security networks for businesses. By combining Akamai Guardicore Segmentation and API Security, Netfos helps its customers protect east-west (internal) traffic and north-south (perimeter) traffic.

At a time when APIs play an increasingly critical role within businesses, Akamai’s solutions enable Netfos’ customers to advance their digital transformation while simultaneously fending off complex attacks and guaranteeing business continuity.

A recent example involving one of Netfos’ retail customers demonstrates the value of Akamai’s solutions. Its API portfolio had grown significantly without automated management. When an API vulnerability exposed member data during a product demonstration, Netfos used API Security to map the environment. It discovered multiple unregistered, unencrypted APIs that may have been used as entry points for the attack.
Through this proof of concept, the customer gained a clear understanding of the urgency of API protection. “The customer quickly approved a purchase to fix the issue and secure future digital expansion,” explained May Chang, Sales Director, Netfos.

Akamai’s support has helped significantly strengthen Netfos’ business. Demand for Netfos’ API-focused services grew more than 50% from 2023 to 2025, with more projects and larger customers.

“Akamai’s capabilities in API security, performance optimization, and architecture integration helped boost our team’s efficiency. In turn, this helped us build trust and increase satisfaction with major clients in finance, high-tech manufacturing, and ecommerce,” continued Chang.

Netfos used Akamai’s global edge computing platform and integrated security solutions to create a secure, resilient digital environment. Through API security, Zero Trust authentication, Firewall for AI, and resilient DNS, it reduced security risks while keeping systems stable and user experiences smooth. This technology foundation helps Netfos stay competitive in a rapidly changing market while focusing on innovation and growth.

As digital transformation accelerates, security threats are growing just as fast. This increases demand for integrated, rapid-response solutions. Netfos sees its partnership with Akamai as key to fulfilling this demand.

“Beyond strengthening API security capabilities, we expect to unlock even more business opportunities using Akamai’s App & API Protector and CDN services. We will also help customers create smarter, more secure architectures using Akamai’s security and edge technologies like Firewall for AI and Edge DNS,” said Chang.

Netfos is investing to expand across industries, especially finance, high-tech manufacturing, and emerging digital services. By combining innovation and localized support, the company is positioning itself for continued growth while deepening long-term customer relationships.

“Akamai approaches every challenge thoughtfully, taking the time to understand the full context, and deliver solutions grounded in reality. Its commitment, communication, and collaborative mindset make Akamai not just a partner, but a valued ally. This partnership has been key to our growth, and is sure to be our most important advantage going forward,” concluded Chang.
