## Business segments

Akamai reports one operating and reportable segment; its solution categories are revenue disaggregations, not separate reportable segments. The company describes Security as protecting online infrastructure, websites, applications, APIs, networks, and users; Delivery and other cloud applications as supporting online business, including media delivery, web and mobile performance, and other cloud applications; and Cloud infrastructure services as providing compute, storage, edge, and partner solutions on its platform. [28](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154813069)[29](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P154813046)

For FY2025, revenue was approximately 53.3% Security, 29.9% Delivery, and 16.8% Cloud computing. [30](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T6937586) In the six months ended June 30, 2026, the updated categories were approximately 55.0% Security, 36.1% Delivery and other cloud applications, and 8.9% Cloud infrastructure services. These percentages are calculated from reported category revenue and total revenue. [23](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T17856963)

## Company history

Akamai Technologies was founded in 1998 by Tom Leighton and Danny Lewin, with Jonathan Seelig and Randall Kaplan joining the founding team. Its early technology used distributed servers to route and replicate internet content. Akamai launched its FreeFlow content-delivery service in 1999, with Yahoo! among its early customers, and went public that October. [31](https://www.akamai.com/company/company-history) [32](https://www.akamai.com/content/dam/sdl-content/us/en/multimedia/documents/akamai/akamai-annual-report-10k-1999.pdf) [33](https://www.ir.akamai.com/investor-faqs)

George Conrades became chairman and CEO in 1999; Paul Sagan succeeded him as CEO in 2005. Co-founder Tom Leighton became CEO in 2013.
