News Summary:

Akamai Technologies warned on March 22, 2026, that artificial intelligence is fueling a new wave of increasingly sophisticated ransomware attacks and advised organizations to deploy AI-driven security solutions to prevent and mitigate the growing threat. This follows the company's launch on March 20, 2026, of its AI Grid, an intelligent orchestration system for distributed inference across 4,400 edge locations. This move marks a significant step in the evolution and operationalization of Akamai’s Inference Cloud, introduced late last year, by rolling out thousands of NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs. The platform aims to enable enterprises to run agentic and physical AI with the responsiveness of local compute and the scale of the global web. Previously, on March 19, 2026, Akamai put its AI ambitions in sharper focus by unveiling this global scale implementation of NVIDIA’s AI Grid design across more than 4,400 edge locations to support distributed AI inference.
