Akamai launched Agent Sandbox and Akamai Inference in beta on October 27, 2026. Agent Sandbox uses WebAssembly to isolate code written and run by AI agents, with limits on computing power, memory and outbound connections. Akamai Inference runs open AI models on the company’s cloud.
A 2026 Palo Alto Networks survey of 2,930 security leaders found an average of 109 machine identities per human, including 79 AI agents. The survey also found that organizations expect their AI agents to grow 85% over the next 12 months; that is a forecast, not measured growth.
