A New Chapter in Enterprise Security
At Seraphic, our mission is to help enterprises secure the most critical and vulnerable part of the enterprise: the browser. Today, we’re proud to announce a strategic partnership with Akamai Technologies, a global leader in cybersecurity and cloud computing, to redefine what Secure Service Edge (SSE) can look like in an AI-driven world.
This collaboration integrates Seraphic’s Secure Enterprise Browser (SEB) with Akamai’s Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution and Enterprise Application Access (EAA). Together, we’re delivering a simpler, more cost-effective, and future-proof approach to securing enterprise access.
Why SSE Needs a Rethink
Due to rapid digital transformation over the past decade, employees now access private applications, SaaS platforms, and increasingly AI tools from every device on every browser. At the same time, attackers are exploiting new openings like unmanaged browsers that bypass IT controls. New web-based threats like advanced phishing, drive-by downloads, and exploit kits also pose a great danger to enterprises. And with the adoption of AI comes risks from prompt injection, data leakage, and malicious tool use.
Traditional SSE solutions are not built for this new era of hybrid work. They rely heavily on proxies, endpoint agents, and complex infrastructure. And while they protect network edges, they struggle with browser-level visibility and fine-grained control, particularly with AI tools.
The result? Security gaps, escalating costs, and frustrated employees.
The Power of Akamai + Seraphic
By partnering with Akamai, we’re bringing together two complementary strengths:
- Seraphic’s Secure Enterprise Browser that enforces enterprise-grade policies without requiring installations, proxies, or TLS interception.
- Akamai’s globally distributed network and ZTNA platform that’s recognized by many to be the benchmark for Zero Trust access.
The integration allows enterprises to protect applications and data across private apps, SaaS platforms, and AI tools, while simplifying security operations with a single policy framework and unified visibility. Enterprises can reduce infrastructure complexity by avoiding proxy-heavy architectures without sacrificing security. And they can scale globally with Akamai’s network, ensuring low-latency, high-performance access everywhere users and apps reside.
Addressing AI-Driven Risks Head-On
AI tools simplify business workflows and increase efficiency. However, they also introduce a new dimension of risk. Sensitive data can easily be shared, intentionally or not, with third-party tools and become ripe for taking by malicious actors. Enterprises need an AI-aware security model that can detect and prevent risky prompts, stop unintentional data sharing, and provide visibility into browser behavior that traditional SSE can’t see. With Seraphic + Akamai, enterprises gain fine-grained browser-level protections combined with Zero Trust access controls, ensuring that AI adoption can move forward securely.
A Simpler, More Cost-Effective Model
Legacy SSE stacks require multiple moving parts such as proxies, endpoint agents, TLS interception, URL rewriting, and more. This complexity causes headaches for CISOs, driving up costs, operational overhead, and frustrating users. Our joint solution delivers the same coverage, and in many cases, better protection, without the baggage.
Key benefits include:
- No proxy dependencies: All enforcement happens directly in the browser and at the access layer
- No endpoint agents required: Device posture checks and controls work without heavy installs
- One dashboard, one policy: Unified management across browsing, SaaS, and application access
- Lower total cost of ownership: Simplified infrastructure and reduced licensing overlap
In short, organizations get more security with less complexity.
What This Means for Enterprises
The browser is the new enterprise edge. It’s where work happens, and it’s where risks concentrate. By embedding security into the browser and extending it across applications through ZTNA, Seraphic and Akamai are delivering a comprehensive Zero Trust solution for the modern enterprise. This partnership isn’t just about keeping up with change. It’s about getting ahead of it. We are providing enterprises with the necessary tools to safely embrace AI, cloud, and distributed work models confidently.
