CNOOCCNOOC Brings Application Traffic onto Akamai
CNOOC, an energy organization in China, uses Guardicore Segmentation from Akamai to support application delivery for network and app owners.
Network and app owners at CNOOC review application traffic in Guardicore Segmentation rather than in personal files.
“Network and app owners needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.”
“CNOOC uses Guardicore Segmentation from Akamai as the working layer for application traffic.”

Story
Inside CNOOC, application delivery used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in energy groups working out of China. Network and app owners needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
CNOOC uses Guardicore Segmentation from Akamai as the working layer for application traffic. Akamai operates a large edge platform for content delivery, application security, and microsegmentation. The practical change is simple: application delivery has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What CNOOC gets from Akamai is a durable place to run application delivery and a way for network and app owners to see the same application traffic at the same time.
