IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Akamai DNS across the whole organization as a front-line protection tool. Our business operates with a few different brands and with a high turnover in staff/drivers. Making sure anyone on the network was protected was important to us. The DNS service gave us protection mainly for DDoS. It also offered us a starting point towards building out a zero-trust network.
Pros
- DDoS protection
- Starting place for a zero-trust network
- Protection for dns spoofing
- Better protection for our remote employees
Cons
- Many features and knowing which ones suit our business case
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited when you have a high-turnover staffing model or can't get everyone trained on security best practices. Also well suited as a starting place for getting a zero-trust network up and running. A tool like Fast DNS gives you a web based portal to see traffic analysis, too, which for us was very important.
