Under this renewed agreement, AT&T business customers will continue to have global access to Akamai services as part of AT&T's portfolio of cloud and network services.
The news marks the second renewal of work between Akamai and AT&T with the two having started working together in 2012 and the extended in 2017.
"The ability to conduct business online is more important than ever, and the ability to do so demands reliable business solutions with scale and performance," said Mo Katibeh, chief product and platform officer at AT&T Business.
"AT&T's network and comprehensive portfolio of business solutions combined with Akamai's edge platform deliver the capabilities to meet the extraordinary demands of today's unique environment."
During that time, AT&T has become the largest global provider of Akamai's security solutions, including its Enterprise Application Access (EAA) and Enterprise Threat Protector products, which deliver secure, controlled access to apps for remote workers, and secure web gateways, respectively.
"Akamai's renewed agreement with AT&T underscores the strong and productive relationship that our two organisations have fostered and the benefits it brings to customers," added Tom Leighton (pictured), CEO and co-founder at Akamai.
"Over the years, we've helped businesses around the world realise the advantages that come with Akamai's edge delivery capabilities being deployed deep into AT&T's IP network combined with its host of business solutions that cover a range of industries where online performance, security and reliability are critical."
The renewed collaboration will see both companies continue to help enhance the security, performance and scale of customers' digital businesses across a host of industries, including retail, finance, entertainment, manufacturing and the public sector, to name a few.
