01
Design around dependencies
Assess existing architecture, owners and critical integrations. Record sizing assumptions, prerequisites and acceptance criteria before product selection.
Technology ecosystem / Professional services
Akamai
Protect applications. Contain lateral movement.
Akamai brings application and API protection, distributed delivery and microsegmentation into complementary layers. We connect edge controls to workload communication requirements instead of treating a WAF as complete internal protection.

IRIS Technology / Delivery capabilities
Why IRIS for Akamai
Architecture, implementation and an accountable operational handover.
Engagement deliverablesApplication dependency maps, policy baselines, WAF tuning records and staged segmentation acceptance tests.
02
Implement with change control
Pilot representative workloads, validate compatibility and stage production changes with agreed rollback criteria.
03
Hand over an operable service
Deliver configuration records, test evidence and runbooks. Define support boundaries, escalation and lifecycle responsibilities.
Capabilities & products
Solution scope
Select the capabilities that meet your control objectives, application dependencies and operating model.
01
Application and API defense
Tune web rules, API coverage and bot controls against legitimate traffic before enforcement.
App & API Protector
02
Workload microsegmentation
Map application dependencies and enforce workload policies through observed flows and staged exceptions.
Guardicore Segmentation
03
Identity-aware access
Replace broad network access with application-specific access aligned to identity and device posture.
Enterprise Application Access
Requirements & controls
Control objectives and evidence
Technology supports a control programme; it does not establish compliance on its own. Validate policies, operating procedures and evidence alongside implementation.
Application exposure and access
Validate protected paths, authentication, origin restrictions and documented exceptions.
Availability and change assurance
Record health checks, failure behavior and rollback results for critical application flows.
Before implementation
Technical questions
Questions to resolve before committing to a platform or deployment scope.
How should microsegmentation be introduced without interrupting application dependencies?
Start with representative traffic observation and application ownership. Validate service-to-service flows, management paths and exceptions, then move policy groups from monitoring to enforcement with rollback criteria. Edge protection and segmentation address different attack paths.
What is confirmed before product selection and quotation?
We confirm the current product edition, supported versions, deployment options, integration prerequisites and license scope. Availability, subscription terms and required add-ons are checked for the proposed environment rather than inferred from portfolio branding.
Can the engagement include ongoing support or managed operations?
Support and managed operations can be scoped around agreed assets, responsibilities, service windows and escalation arrangements. Monitoring, change authority and vendor escalation are documented in the service scope; they are not assumed to be included with a product license.
Regional delivery
Akamai expertise. Local accountability.
IRIS Technology delivers Akamai architecture, implementation, migration and support scopes through established operations in Saudi Arabia and Jordan. Products, licensing and responsibilities are confirmed for each engagement.
