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.

AI-driven workflows have transformed our end-to-end development and collaboration processes
The built-in CI/CD integration in GitLab [Private Offer Only] is lacking. We are still depending on other packages. If GitLab [Private Offer Only] had some CI/CD integration internally, it would be beneficial. Because for CI/CD integration now, we are currently doing it with the direct server side. I think it is not that much integrated with the current scenarios of AI, that is AI agent-based or assistant-based coding patterns. Some more improvement is required in GitLab [Private Offer Only] for CI/CD integration along with AI platforms. AI integration is basically what we need, especially on the CI/CD side of GitLab [Private Offer Only]. The code assistant, such as a cloud code assistant, is making things with GitLab [Private Offer Only], but it is conventional. They are pulling the code and sending the thing. I think they can do some more integration, seamless integration with GitLab [Private Offer Only]. AI is consuming GitLab [Private Offer Only] with the older style. If AI were fully pluggable in GitLab [Private Offer Only], it would be beneficial. I think we could get some more time reduction, especially on the testing side and the code testing side.
