Lead Cyber Architect at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
Micro-segmentation has delivered deep flow visibility and simplified firewall rule management
Although mapping is currently fine, Akamai Segmentation [Private Offer Only] can improve by providing a more useful and visually appealing graphical user interface for mapping. While we can automate rules through API calls, this is not entirely possible with the same API. Navigation between different sources and generations of APIs can make it time-consuming to achieve cartography. While labeling is beneficial, there is still room for user experience improvements. The improvements are not solely due to the Akamai project; they also stem from issues related to CMDB and the information systems of our company, where sometimes the information is inconsistent, causing Akamai to be unable to automate labeling if that information is not consistently provided.

Granular data protection and detailed user web activity reporting have strengthened compliance
Maybe next year, we are looking for a user behavior analytics setup. We have budgeted for a user behavior analytics tool. We are looking for that. We are working with Azure mainly. AWS is in our roadmap. Forcepoint [Private Offer Only] cloud, we are using it. We have an agent that will connect. If I am connecting inside, it will connect to our in-house proxy, and if we are connecting outside, it will connect to the outside proxy, which is the cloud proxy. Our proxy appliance is in AWS, though I'm not entirely sure. I would rate my overall experience an 8.5.
