Client Reputation Overview

Client Reputation provides information to our customers regarding the reputation of IP addresses that interact with the Akamai Intelligent Platform. Customers use Client Reputation to better protect their applications against DDoS and application layer attacks. It does this by identifying and sharing with customers the likelihood that particular IP Addresses fall into one of the following malicious categories web attackers, Denial of Service(DoS) attackers, scanning tools and web scrapers.

Client Reputation leverages advanced algorithms to compute a risk score based on prior behavior as observed over the Akamai network. Based on this information, Akamai assigns risk scores to each IP Address and allows customers to choose which actions to take on an IP address with specific risk scores.

Information that users provide via the Client Reputation Investigation Request shall be subject to Akamai’s Privacy Statement for Akamai Sites.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Akamai blocking me?

Akamai does not block users from accessing our customers' websites. However, our customers can use tools and policies which may in turn block you (the end user). Our customers use these rules to protect them and you from malicious actors on the internet. Some common reasons could include:

Explicit IP blocking / blacklisting
Location-based backlisting
Rule-based blocking (i.e. web application firewall protections)
Reputation-base blocking
HTTP request rate controls (e.g. DoS protections)

The following activities may trigger application security controls:

Web application layer attacks such as: SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting, Local File Inclusion, Remote Command Execution, Remote File Inclusion, etc.
Volumetric attacks or similar high rate HTTP traffic
Web contents scraping, data mining, web content indexing and similar automated web activities
Web vulnerability scanning using automated tools

Your reputation follows you. If your IP is identified as behaving poorly on one site, you may be blocked on other websites. A first step in troubleshooting may be to determine whether your IP Address is performing one of the activities listed above that could affect your reputation.

Why is my IP Address assigned bad reputation?

Client Reputation leverages advanced algorithms to compute a risk score based on prior behavior as observed over the Akamai network. An IP address is assigned with bad reputation when Akamai observes malicious activity originating from this IP address
