Softprom and Akamai Join Forces to Bolster Cybersecurity Resilience Across Ukraine

Softprom, a leading Value Added IT Distributor in Central and Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, today announced a partnership with Akamai Technologies, the cybersecurity and cloud computing company that powers and protects business online.

The partnership is focused on strengthening cybersecurity resilience in Ukraine by enabling organizations to adopt Softprom’s ‘Defense-in-Depth’ security model that protects applications, APIs and internal infrastructure against modern, sophisticated cyber threats. As part of its 2026 go-to-market strategy, Softprom will prioritize Akamai’s advanced security capabilities to address both external attack surfaces and internal lateral movement.

This collaboration reflects the growing need for layered, adaptive security architectures in Ukraine, where organizations must defend critical digital assets across hybrid and cloud environments under constant threat.

Key benefits of the Softprom Akamai partnership for Ukraine include:

• Defense-in-Depth Cybersecurity Architecture: The partnership enables organizations to implement a multi-layered cybersecurity strategy that addresses threats at every stage of the attack lifecycle - from exposed APIs and applications to internal east-west traffic. This approach reduces the impact of breaches and increases overall cyber resilience.
• Advanced API Security: Softprom will focus on Akamai API Security, which provides comprehensive discovery, monitoring, and protection of all the processes within organizations that rely on APIs. The solution helps identify shadow and unmanaged APIs and defends against business logic abuse, credential misuse, and data exfiltration - one of the fastest-growing attack vectors today.
• Akamai Guardicore Platform for Zero Trust: The Akamai Guardicore Platform combines microsegmentation, ZTNA, MFA, DNS firewall, threat hunting, and AI to deliver Zero Trust security. Together, these components provide organizations with the solutions to adhere to the core principles of Zero Trust - including treating all entities as untrusted by default, enforcing least-privilege access, and maintaining comprehensive security monitoring.
• Reduced Attack Surface and Enhanced Visibility: By combining API Security and the Guardicore platform, organizations gain deep visibility into traffic flows, dependencies, and application behavior. This allows security teams to enforce least-privilege access, identify risks earlier, and significantly reduce the attack surface.
• Operational Efficiency and Incident Readiness: Akamai’s security technologies simplify policy management and improve operational efficiency, helping security teams respond faster to incidents while supporting compliance and regulatory requirements.

Softprom, founded in 1999, operates in more than 30 countries and is trusted by over 1200 partners. The company offers comprehensive value-added services, including financial risk management, logistics, marketing, sales support, and certified engineering expertise. This strong distribution infrastructure will play a key role in accelerating the adoption of Akamai across the designated territories.
