    Jun 16, 2025
    We have recently onboarded Akamai Account Protector along with Akamai BMP which we have been using for years as we found some value addition in getting this product. It has been a valuable addition to our user account security strategy. It effectively helps detect and mitigate suspicious login behaviour and creds abuse, particularly in risk sensitive applications.
