Case Study: Kaizen Platform achieves rapid remote-work security and complete threat visibility with Akamai Technologies' Enterprise Threat Protector (ETP)

How Akamai ETP Made It Quick and Easy to Enhance the Security of Remote Working

Kaizen Platform is a Tokyo-based consulting firm that uses proprietary technology to run A/B testing and website performance projects, with a distributed workforce of 100+ employees and a long-standing remote-work culture. SRE Manager Akira Maeda was concerned that employees forced to use public Wi‑Fi when company-provided mobile hotspots failed left the business exposed and that existing tools gave poor visibility into remote security threats.

Kaizen trialed and rapidly deployed Akamai Enterprise Threat Protector (ETP), moving from trial to production in weeks with no performance impact on engineers. ETP’s DNS-based controls blocked dangerous sites, delivered full visibility into threat trends and accidental accesses, improved remote-worker security, and enabled the team to pursue more detailed incident analysis — all implemented quickly and without disrupting productivity.
