LayerX Security

LayerX Security, a privately owned company and a subsidiary of Akamai, is headquartered in the United States, with additional operations based in Tel Aviv, Israel, and a corporate office in New York. Founded in 2021 by Or Eshed and David Vaisbrud, the company employs approximately 120 individuals. It specializes in enterprise browser security and artificial intelligence usage governance, developing an agentless, browser-native extension platform that integrates across standard web applications and browsers to counter data leakage, shadow SaaS usage, and modern web threats. In May 2026, Akamai Technologies announced a definitive agreement to acquire LayerX Security to assimilate its browser-level AI interaction guardrails into Akamai's broader Zero Trust portfolio.
