(NASDAQ: AKAM), has been named a Customers’ Choice in the January 2026 Gartner Peer Insights “Voice of the Customer” for Network Security Microsegmentation. Akamai earned a 99% recommendation rate and was one of two vendors to receive this in the report. Network security microsegmentation tools allow organizations to create dynamic access policies between individual assets and applications across cloud environments. Gartner defines network security microsegmentation — also referred to as Zero Trust network segmentation — as “an effort that can create more granular and dynamic access policies than traditional network segmentation (often north-south traffic segmentation).” Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice distinctions recognize vendors and products that are highly rated by their customers. The data collected represents a top-level synthesis of vendor software products most valued by IT enterprise professionals.
