Patrick Higgins

I work with enterprise teams that run mission-critical digital platforms—and feel the pressure when security gaps, performance issues, or operational blind spots start to slow the business down. At Akamai, I partner with security, infrastructure, and application leaders to surface where risk and friction actually live: exposed or orphaned APIs, inconsistent controls across environments, bot-driven abuse, and performance bottlenecks that don’t show up until customers do. My role isn’t to push products. It’s to help teams clarify priorities, understand their true attack surface, and evaluate whether their current approach can scale with the business—without adding operational drag. The work sits at the intersection of security, performance, and resilience: protecting customer experience while enabling teams to move faster with confidence. Always open to thoughtful conversations with leaders responsible for security, infrastructure, and digital platforms.
