Sep 2, 2026—Introducing Akamai Security Hub (General Availability)

Security Hub (now in General Availability) is a unified reporting dashboard that transforms application security management from reactive firefighting into proactive protection. Built around Akamai’s core security offerings (currently supporting App & API Protector and Bot & Agent Control in Phase 1), Security Hub surfaces your attack readiness, highlights critical security gaps, and provides step-by-step guidance to bolster your defenses ahead of time—giving you complete visibility into your posture and threat traffic at no extra charge.

Security posture scoring, recommendations, and benchmarking

• Dynamic posture score: Instantly evaluate your overall setup health with a weighted Posture Score (ranging from 1 to 1,000). The score updates frequently and recalculates in near real-time following any security configuration activation—giving you a clear visual indicator of your readiness and allowing you to track how your posture shifts over time.
• Peer benchmarking: Compare your Posture Score directly against regional and industry cohorts over a 12-week trend line to evaluate your progress and validate security investments to leadership.
• Prioritized "click-to-fix" recommendations: Security Hub continuously audits your configurations across two primary operational pillars—Asset Coverage (evaluating how well protected your endpoints are within a configuration) and Configuration Optimization (assessing how well tuned the security configurations themselves are). Every open issue provides direct "click-to-fix" links to the exact setup page so you can resolve gaps immediately.
• Flexible risk acceptance ("ignored" states): Snooze or mark low-priority issues or issues you do not plan to fix (such as those flagging QA testing environments or deprecated hostnames) as "Ignored" with custom comments to keep active dashboards clean and focused on true priorities.
• Protection & integration ecosystem: Explore options to expand your defense coverage by discovering additional Akamai security solutions available for trial, alongside a dedicated section highlighting out-of-the-box integrations with partner SIEMs, Terraform, and third-party tools.

Traffic analytics & forensic monitoring

• Up to 90 days of traffic data: Analyze attack traffic volumes across your footprint with access to up to 90 days of data, allowing you to evaluate week-over-week or month-over-month trend changes within that historical window.
• Mitigated vs. unmitigated traffic: Time-series graphs contrast mitigated hits against unmitigated traffic, making it easy to prove your defenses are actively deflecting threats.
• Detailed control & geographic analysis: Break down traffic across individual security layers (WAF, Client Reputation, Bot & Agent Control, DoS) to see which controls are actively triggering, while identifying your top affected origin countries alongside top targeted hostnames and APIs.
• Seamless WSA deep-linking: Pivot directly into Web Security Analytics (WSA) from virtually any traffic data point—including detailed control breakdowns, top countries, and targeted hostnames—to dig deeper into high-level trends with active configurations, time parameters, and protection dimensions automatically pre-applied as filters.

Asset inventory integration & automated reporting

• Asset inventory integration: Connect seamlessly with Asset Inventory to passively discover hidden or unconfigured shadow APIs and hostnames, verify protection status per asset, and quickly launch onboarding workflows.
• Automated reporting & shared views: Schedule customized traffic and posture summaries to be emailed directly to your inbox on your chosen cadence, or share exact dashboard views with teammates using URLs that preserve all active filters.

Application Security Governance view (CISO dashboard)

The Application Security Governance view (also known as the CISO Dashboard) provides executive-level visibility across your entire account. Designed for CISOs, VPs, and security leaders, this view translates account-wide technical telemetry into strategic risk metrics—helping leadership understand progress, prioritize resources, and prove defense effectiveness without getting bogged down in individual configuration details.

Executive posture oversight & tailored views

• Account-wide security posture gauge: Track your overall organizational defense health with an account-wide Posture Score gauge (0 to 1,000 scale), percentage score movement over the past week, and a weekly score history chart. This gives leadership an immediate, objective health indicator to track overall progress over time.
• Tag-based configuration grouping: Filter the entire dashboard—including the posture score and traffic metrics—using custom configuration tags. This feature lets you group configurations by business unit, geographic region, or brand to assess how well specific operational units are managing risk.

Account-level attack trends & high-impact drivers

• Attack traffic & mitigation split: Evaluate overall attack volume across your account with time-series graphs contrasting mitigated requests against unmitigated traffic, allowing executives to verify that active protections are effectively blocking threats. Slide-in drawers provide instant breakdowns per protection area.
• Historical issue trends: Track open and resolved security issue volumes over time using interactive line charts across customizable historical time windows to monitor how effectively your teams are mitigating risk over time.
• High-impact driver drawers: Open dedicated slide-in panels directly beside your Posture Score to identify the top active issues dragging down your score, as well as the specific issues resolved by your team over the last 7 days.

Posture breakdowns & coverage gap analysis

• Production configuration posture distribution: View a consolidated count of production security configurations bucketed by posture grade, with full drill-down drawers to help leaders pinpoint which setups require immediate team attention.
• Comprehensive asset coverage: Track discovered endpoints categorized by coverage status to identify exposed web properties across your organization and direct teams to fix coverage gaps.
• Protection area coverage: Audit protection coverage row-by-row across core attack vectors to spot missing security layers across configurations.

Unified executive action center & reporting

• Remediable insights & team alerts: Maintain operational awareness of ongoing security workflows through a tabbed Action Center displaying AI-driven attack insights, open security issues, and Web Security Analytics alerts created by your analysts. Clicking any configuration name routes directly into Security Hub, allowing technical teams to take immediate action.
• Executive sharing & export: Instantly copy pre-filtered dashboard links or export the current view as a PDF to easily share tailored posture updates with executive stakeholders.
