Fastly Reports Strong Security Revenue Growth Amid Rising AI Traffic
Fastly reported a 23% year-over-year revenue increase, reaching $183 million in the most recent quarter. The growth was driven by strong performance across its delivery services and security offerings, with security revenue rising 43%. Fastly's CFO attributed this to an expanded product portfolio and improved sales execution. The company highlighted a surge in AI-driven machine traffic as a key opportunity for its bot management and DDoS protection products. Machine-to-machine requests are growing at six times the rate of human-generated traffic, representing nearly half of all network activity. Fastly expects edge computing to become increasingly important with the expansion of agentic workloads. Remaining performance obligations increased 38% year-over-year during the quarter, signaling stronger customer commitments. The company also noted broad-based demand across delivery services and security solutions as customers face more complex traffic patterns.
