Story
Inside Milwaukee Tool, application delivery used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. Network and app owners needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Milwaukee Tool 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 Milwaukee Tool 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.
