As I began my CSR Co-op position this year, I wanted to see up-close how a corporate foundation works. What I've found is that the work the Akamai Foundation does around the world is inspiring! Whether it's partnering with STEM educators, responding to the COVID-19 crisis, planning employee volunteerism efforts, or creating a hardship fund to support our community, what we do here has a positive impact across the globe. And, thanks to this co-op opportunity, I've been able to play a real part in driving this impact forward.
For more than 20 years, Akamai has worked very hard to earn the trust and confidence of our customers and partners by developing services that can be relied upon to be available and secure at all times.
The beginning of August is upon us, and if you haven?t already started thinking about the busiest time of the year, now is a good time to do so. Whether you?re an experienced veteran of managing peak traffic or new to the game, Q4 can bring surprises when it comes to performance and security. And while it?s nearly impossible to prepare for every situation, there are a number of options and solutions available at Akamai to help manage the surge of traffic (both good and bad) that will be hitting the retail industry during the holiday season, especially on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
