Secure Sensitive Data with Cyera and Akamai Guardicore Segmentation
Akamai Technologies, Monday, October 19th, 2026
Akamai explains how Cyera data classification labels drive data-aware microsegmentation in Akamai Guardicore Segmentation.
Akamai says finding sensitive data is only a first step, since teams also need to know what it is and what happens if its host is compromised.
Integrating Cyera's data discovery and classification with Akamai Guardicore Segmentation turns data labels into network policy rather than relying on IP addresses and subnets.
Cyera sensitivity labels are imported as asset tags, enabling rules such as blocking lateral traffic from unverified workloads to servers with sensitive records.
Akamai says the pairing also helps prioritize vulnerabilities and isolate AI training and inference datasets in line with frameworks like the NIST AI RMF and EU AI Act.
