Exhibit 10.5 - 1 - Executive (January 2026) AKAMAI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement Granted Under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan for Executives 1. Grant of Award. This Agreement evidences the grant by Akamai Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), on <award_date> (the “Grant Date”) to you (the “Participant”) of <shares_awarded> restricted stock units of the Company (individually, an “RSU” and collectively, the “RSUs”), subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement, including any additional terms for the Participant’s country set forth in the appendix attached hereto (the “Appendix”) (together, the “Agreement”) and the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan and any sub-plan to the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan for the Participant’s country (together, as amended or amended and restated, the “Plan”). Each RSU represents the right to receive one share of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) as provided in this Agreement. The shares of Common Stock that are issuable upon vesting of the RSUs are referred to in this Agreement as “Shares”. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified in the Plan. 2. Vesting; Forfeiture. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that the Participant continues to provide services until the Vesting Date (as defined below): (a) <vesting_schedule> Each date on which RSUs vest may be referred to herein as the “Vesting Date.” (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2, RSUs shall not continue to vest unless the Participant is, and has been at all times since the Grant Date, an employee, officer or director of, or consultant or advisor to, the Company. (c) Except as reflected in Section 6 below, in the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company ceases or is terminated for any reason other than “Cause” (as defined below), other than by reason of death or disability and other than due to the Participant’s Retirement (as defined in the Akamai Technologies, Inc. Retirement Policy (the “Retirement Policy”)), then the number of RSUs which shall be vested shall be the number that are vested as of the date of actual termination as determined in accordance with Section 8(l) below. For the avoidance of doubt, employment during only a portion of the vesting period, and where the Participant’s employment has terminated prior to a Vesting Date, will not entitle the Participant to vest in a pro-rata portion of the RSUs, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) any act or omission by the Participant that has a significant adverse effect on the Company’s business or on the Participant’s ability to perform services for the Company, including, without limitation, the commission of any crime (other than ordinary traffic violations), or (ii) refusal or failure to perform assigned duties, serious misconduct, or excessive absenteeism, or (iii) refusal or failure to comply with the Company’s Code of Business Ethics. In the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated for Cause, all unvested RSUs shall be forfeited effective as of the date of termination as determined in accordance with Section 8(l) below. In the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company ceases due to the Participant’s death or disability (as defined under Section 409A of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), then all unvested RSUs shall vest as of the date of death or disability. In the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company ceases due to the Participant’s Retirement, the RSUs and any

- 2 - Executive (January 2026) other Awards held by the Participant shall be treated as set forth in the Retirement Policy, subject to the terms and conditions thereof. (d) For purposes of the Agreement, employment with the Company shall include employment with a parent, subsidiary, affiliate or division of the Company, subject to Section 8(g) of the Agreement. 3. Distribution of Shares. (a) The Company will distribute to the Participant (or to the Participant’s estate in the event that his or her death occurs after a Vesting Date but before distribution of the corresponding Shares), the shares of Common Stock represented by RSUs that vested on such Vesting Date as soon as administratively practicable after each Vesting Date (each such date of distribution is hereinafter referred to as a “Settlement Date”) but in any event no later than the date that is two and one-half months following the applicable Vesting Date. (b) The Company shall not be obligated to issue to the Participant the Shares upon the vesting of any RSU (or otherwise) unless the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with all relevant provisions of law and other legal requirements including, without limitation, any applicable federal, state or local securities laws and the requirements of any stock exchange upon which shares of Common Stock may then be listed. (c) Neither the Company nor the Participant shall have the right to accelerate or defer the delivery of any shares under this Agreement except to the extent specifically permitted under Section 409A of the Code. 4. Restrictions on Transfer. The Participant shall not sell, assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of, by operation of law or otherwise (collectively “transfer”) any RSUs, or any interest therein, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. 5. Dividend and Other Shareholder Rights. Except as set forth in the Plan or the Akamai Technologies, Inc. U.S. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan, neither the Participant nor any person claiming under or through the Participant shall be, or have any rights or privileges of, a stockholder of the Company in respect of the Shares issuable pursuant to the RSUs granted hereunder until the Shares have been delivered to the Participant. 6. Provisions of the Plan; Change in Control Event. (a) This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, a copy of which is made available to the Participant with this Agreement. (b) [Reserved]. (c) Except as otherwise provided in the Retirement Policy, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event, each RSU shall continue to be subject to the vesting schedule set forth in Section 2(a); provided, however, in the event that upon the occurrence of Change in Control Event, the RSUs represented by this Agreement are not exchanged for a Replacement Award (as defined below), then each RSU shall immediately become fully vested as of immediately prior to the closing of the Change in Control Event.

- 3 - Executive (January 2026) (d) For purposes of this Agreement, an award issuing by the acquiring company in a Change in Control Event shall qualify as a “Replacement Award” if (i) it has a value at least equal to the value of the RSUs represented by this Agreement (the “Replaced Award”) as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion; (ii) it relates to publicly traded equity securities of the Company or its successor in the Change in Control Event or another entity that is affiliated with the Company or its successor following the Change in Control Event; and (iii) its other terms and conditions are not less favorable to the Participant than the terms and conditions of the Replaced Award. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Replacement Award may take the form of a continuation of the Replaced Award if the requirements of the preceding sentence are satisfied. The determination of whether the conditions of this clause (d) are satisfied shall be made by the Committee, as constituted immediately before the Change in Control Event, in its sole discretion. (e) Except as otherwise provided in the Retirement Policy, in the event that the Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company for a reason other than Cause (as defined above), including the Participant’s voluntary resignation for Good Reason (as defined below), within twelve months after a Change in Control Event, all then-unvested Replacement Awards held by the Participant shall vest as of the date of termination of employment as determined in accordance with Section 8(l) below. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean (i) a material reduction in the Participant’s compensation and benefits (including, without limitation, any bonus plan or indemnity agreement not agreed to in writing by the Participant), (ii) the assignment to the Participant of duties and/or responsibilities that are materially inconsistent with those associated with the Participant’s position, or (iii) a requirement, not agreed to in writing by the Participant, that the Participant relocate to, or perform his or her principal job functions at, an office that is more than twenty-five (25) miles from the office at which the Participant was previously performing his or her principal job functions. 7. Withholding Taxes. (a) The Participant acknowledges that, regardless of any action the Company or, if different, the parent, subsidiary, affiliate or division of the Company by which the Participant is employed (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance contributions, payroll tax, fringe benefits tax, payment on account or other tax-related items related to the Participant’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to the Participant or deemed by the Company or the Employer, in its discretion, to be an appropriate charge to the Participant even if legally applicable to the Company or the Employer (“Tax-Related Items”), the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by him or her is and remains the Participant’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Employer (1) make no representations or undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of the RSU award, including the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs, the subsequent sale of Shares delivered pursuant thereto and the receipt of cash or any dividends or dividend equivalents; and (2) do not commit to structure the terms of the award or any aspect of the RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Participant’s liability for Tax-Related Items or achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Participant is subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Participant acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer (or former employer, as applicable) may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction (b) The Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, retain the discretion, and the Participant authorizes the Company and/or the Employer, or their respective agents, to satisfy any applicable withholding obligations with regard to all Tax-Related Items by one or a combination of the following: (i) withholding from the Participant’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Participant by the Company and/or the Employer; (ii) withholding from proceeds of the sale of Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs either through a voluntary sale or through a mandatory sale arranged by the Company (on the Participant’s behalf pursuant to this authorization without further consent); (iii) requiring the Participant to make a payment in a form acceptable to the Company; (iv) withholding in Shares to be issued

- 4 - Executive (January 2026) upon settlement of the RSUs; or (v) any other method of withholding determined by the Company and to the extent required by applicable law or the Plan, approved by the Committee. (c) The Company may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable minimum statutory withholding rates or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the Participant’s jurisdiction(s), to the extent permitted by the Plan. In the event of over- withholding, the Participant may receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash (with no entitlement to the equivalent in Shares), or if not refunded, the Participant may seek a refund from the local tax authorities. In the event of under-withholding, the Participant may be required to pay any additional Tax- Related Items directly to the applicable tax authority or to the Company and/or the Employer. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Participant is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested RSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items. (d) Finally, the Participant shall pay to the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Participant’s participation in the Plan that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to issue or deliver the Shares or the proceeds of the sale of Shares, if the Participant fails to comply with the Participant’s obligations with respect to Tax-Related Items. (e) The Participant represents to the Company that, as of the date hereof, he or she is not aware of any material nonpublic information about the Company or the Common Stock. 8. Nature of Grant. In accepting the grant, the Participant acknowledges that: (a) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and it may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time, unless otherwise provided in the Plan; (b) the grant of the RSUs is exceptional, voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of restricted stock units, or benefits in lieu of restricted stock units, even if restricted stock units have been granted in the past; (c) all decisions with respect to future restricted stock units, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (d) the grant of the RSUs and the Participant’s participation in the Plan will not create a right to further employment with the Company or the Employer, as applicable, and shall not interfere with the ability of the Company, the Employer or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, as applicable, to terminate Participant’s employment relationship at any time; (e) the Participant is voluntarily participating in the Plan; (f) the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not intended to replace any pension rights or compensation; (g) the RSUs and the Participant’s participation in the Plan will not be interpreted to form an employment agreement or relationship with the Company; (h) the future value of the Shares subject to the RSUs is unknown, indeterminable and cannot be predicted with certainty;

- 5 - Executive (January 2026) (i) unless otherwise agreed with the Company, the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not granted as consideration for, or in connection with, any service the Participant may provide as a director of any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company; (j) the RSUs and the Shares subject to the RSUs, and the income and value of same, are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to, calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, holiday pay, bonuses, long-service awards, leave-related payments, pension, retirement or welfare benefits or similar payments and in no event should be considered as compensation for, or relating in any way to, past services for the Company or the Employer; (k) no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from (i) any forfeiture of the RSUs resulting from termination of the Participant’s employment relationship or from any diminution in value of the RSUs or Shares acquired upon settlement of the RSUs for any reason and/or (ii) forfeiture of the RSUs or recoupment of any Shares, cash or other benefits acquired pursuant to the RSUs resulting from the application of any recoupment or clawback policy of the Company, as it may be amended from time to time (whether such policy is adopted on or after the date of this Agreement) or any recoupment otherwise required by applicable laws, regulations or stock exchange listing standards; and (l) for purposes of the RSUs, the Participant’s employment relationship will be considered terminated as of the date he or she is no longer actively providing services to the Company, the Employer or any other parent, subsidiary or affiliate of the Company (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or providing services or the terms of his or her employment agreement, if any) and, except in the case of the Participant’s termination due to death or disability or Retirement (as defined in the Retirement Policy) as provided for in Section 2(c), the Participant’s right to vest in the RSUs under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of such date and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the period of the Participant’s employment service would not include any contractual notice period or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Participant is employed or providing services or the terms of his or her employment agreement, if any); the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Participant is no longer actively providing services for purposes of his or her RSUs (including whether the Participant may still be considered to be providing services while on a leave of absence).

- 6 - Executive (January 2026) 9. Data Privacy Information and Consent. (a) Data Collection and Usage. The Company and the Employer collect, process and use certain personal information about the Participant, including, but not limited to, his or her name, home address, telephone number, email address, date of birth, social insurance number, passport or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares or directorships held in the Company, details of all awards granted under the Plan or any other entitlement to shares awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Participant’s favor (“Data”), for purposes of administering his or her participation in the Plan. The legal basis, where required, for the processing of Data is the Participant’s consent. (b) Stock Plan Administration Service Providers. The Company transfers Data to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., Inc. and certain of its affiliates (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇”), which is assisting the Company with the implementation, administration and management of the Plan. The Company may select a different service provider or additional service providers and share Data with such other provider serving in a similar manner. The Participant may be asked to agree on separate terms and data processing practices with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, with such agreement being a condition to the ability to participate in the Plan. (c) International Data Transfers. The Company, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and, as the case may be, other service providers of the Company are or might be based in the United States, which means that the Participant’s Data will have to be transferred to or otherwise processed in the United States. The Participant understands and acknowledges that the United States might apply laws not providing a level of protection of his or her Data equivalent to the level of protection in his or her country or jurisdiction. In the absence of appropriate safeguards, the processing of the Participant’s Data in the United States might not be subject to substantive data processing principles or supervision by data protection authorities. In addition, the Participant might not have enforceable rights regarding the processing of his or her Data. By signing or electronically agreeing to this Agreement, the Participant explicitly declares his or her consent to the Company receiving and transferring his or her Data onward to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and, as the case may be, other service providers without implementing appropriate safeguards. Where required, such processing of the Participant’s Data will be exclusively based on his or her consent. (d) Data Retention. The Company will hold and use Data only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or as required to comply with legal or regulatory obligations, including under tax, exchange control, labor and securities laws. This period may extend beyond the Participant’s period of employment with the Employer. When the Company or the Employer no longer need Data for any of the above purposes, they will cease processing it in this context and remove it from all of their systems used for such purposes to the fullest extent practicable. (e) Voluntariness and Consequences of Consent Denial or Withdrawal. Participation in the Plan is voluntary and the Participant is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis. If the Participant does not consent, or if the Participant later seeks to revoke the consent, his or her salary from or employment with the Employer will not be affected; the only consequence of refusing or withdrawing consent is that the Company would not be able to grant awards under the Plan or administer or maintain such awards. (f) Data Subject Rights. The Participant may have a number of rights under data privacy laws in his or her jurisdiction. Depending on where the Participant is based, such rights may include the right to (i) request access to or copies of Data processes, (ii) rectify incorrect Data, (iii) delete Data, (iv) restrict the processing of Data, (v) restrict the portability of Data, (vi) lodge complaints with competent authorities in his or her jurisdiction, and/or (vii) receive a list with the names and addresses

- 7 - Executive (January 2026) of any potential recipients of Data. To receive clarification regarding these rights or to exercise these rights, the Participant can contact his or her local human resources representative. (g) Other Legal Basis and Additional Consent. The Participant understands that the Company may rely on a different legal basis for the collection, processing or transfer of Data in the future and/or request the Participant to provide another data privacy consent. If applicable, upon request of the Participant or the Employer, he or she will provide a separate executed data privacy agreement (or any other agreements or consents) that the Company and/or the Employer may deem necessary to obtain from the Participant for the purpose of administering his or her participation in the Plan in compliance with the data privacy laws in his or her country, either now or in the future. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she will not be able to participate in the Plan, if he or she fails to provide any such agreement requested by the Company and/or the Employer. 10. Miscellaneous. (a) No Rights to Employment. The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the vesting of the RSUs pursuant to Section 2 hereof is earned only by continuing service as an employee at the will of the Company (not through the act of being hired or receiving shares hereunder). The Participant further acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated hereunder and the vesting schedule set forth herein do not constitute an express or implied promise of continued engagement as an employee or consultant for the vesting period, for any period, or at all. (b) No Advice Regarding Grant. The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Participant’s participation in the Plan, or his or her acquisition or sale of the Shares subject to the RSUs. The Participant understands and agrees that he or she should consult with his or her own personal tax, legal and financial advisors regarding participation in the Plan before taking any action related to the Plan. (c) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and each other provision of this Agreement shall be severable and enforceable to the extent permitted by law.

All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and deemed effectively given upon personal delivery or five days after deposit in the United States Post Office, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the other party hereto at the address shown beneath his or its respective signature to this Agreement, or at such other address or addresses as either party shall designate to the other in accordance with this Section 10(f). (g) Recoupment. As an additional condition of receiving this award of RSUs, the Participant agrees that the RSUs, whether vested or unvested, and/or the Shares, cash or other benefits acquired pursuant to the RSUs (and any proceeds therefrom) may be subject to recoupment to the extent required (i) under the Company’s clawback policies in effect as of the date of this Agreement, or to the extent adopted following the date of this Agreement, any similar policy applicable to circumstances where the Participant engages in misconduct, fraud, a violation of law or other similar circumstances, and, in each case, as they may be amended from time to time, or (ii) under applicable laws, regulations or stock exchange

- 8 - Executive (January 2026) listing standards (collectively, the “Recoupment Policy”). In order to satisfy any recoupment obligation arising under the Recoupment Policy, among other things, the Participant expressly and explicitly authorizes the Company to issue instructions, on the Participant’s behalf, to any brokerage firm and/or third party administrator engaged by the Company to hold any Shares or other amounts acquired pursuant to the RSUs to re-convey, transfer or otherwise return such Shares and/or other amounts to the Company upon the Company’s enforcement of the Recoupment Policy. No recovery of compensation as described in this section will be an event giving rise to the Participant’s right to resign for “good reason” or “constructive termination” (or similar term) under any plan of, or agreement with, the Company or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate and/or the Employer. (h) Language. The Participant acknowledges that he or she is sufficiently proficient in English, or has consulted with an advisor who is sufficiently proficient in English, so as to allow the Participant to understand the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the Appendix. Furthermore, if the Participant has received this Agreement, or any other document related to the RSUs and/or the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the meaning of the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control, unless otherwise required by applicable law. (i) Pronouns. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used in this Agreement shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of nouns and pronouns shall include the plural, and vice versa. (j) Entire Agreement; Conflicts and Interpretation. This Agreement, including any special terms and conditions set forth in the Appendix hereto for the Participant’s country, and the Plan, including any applicable sub-plan, constitute the entire agreement between the parties, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall control. In the event of any ambiguity in this Agreement, or any matters as to which this Agreement is silent, the Plan shall govern including, without limitation, the provisions thereof pursuant to which the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) has the power, among other things, to (i) interpret the Plan, (ii) prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan and (iii) make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. (k) Appendix. The RSUs shall be subject to any additional provisions set forth in the Appendix for the Participant’s country.

The Appendix constitutes part of this Agreement. (l) Imposition of Other Requirements. The Company reserves the right to impose other requirements on the RSUs and the Shares acquired upon vesting of the RSUs, to the extent the Company determines it is necessary or advisable for legal or administrative reasons, and to require the Participant to sign any additional agreements or undertakings that may be necessary to accomplish the foregoing. (m) Amendment. The Company may modify, amend or waive the terms of this Agreement prospectively or retroactively, but no such modification, amendment or waiver shall impair the rights of the Participant without his or her consent, except as required by applicable law, Nasdaq or stock exchange rules, tax rules or accounting rules. Any provision for the benefit of the Company contained in this Agreement may be waived, either generally or in any particular instance, by the Board of Directors (or a committee thereof) of the Company. The waiver by either party of compliance with any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement, or of any subsequent breach by such party or any other participant of a provision of this Agreement.

- 9 - Executive (January 2026) (n) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, interpreted and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the U.S. State of Delaware, without regard to any applicable conflicts of laws.

Local ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ laws and regulations may prohibit the cancellation or amendment of orders the Participant placed before he or she possessed inside information.

Keep in mind third parties include fellow employees. Any restrictions under these laws or regulations are separate from and in addition to any restrictions that may be imposed under any applicable Company ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ policy. The Participant acknowledges that it is his or her responsibility to comply with any applicable restrictions, including those imposed under any applicable Company ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ policy, and the Participant should consult with his or her own personal legal and financial advisors on this matter before taking any action related to the Plan.

- 12 - Executive (January 2026) APPENDIX AKAMAI TECHNOLOGIES, INC. Global Restricted Stock Unit Agreement Granted Under the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan for Executives COUNTRY-SPECIFIC TERMS AND CONDITIONS Terms and Conditions The Participant understands that this Appendix includes additional terms and conditions that govern the RSUs granted to him or her under the Plan if he or she works and/or resides in one of the countries listed below. If the Participant is a citizen or resident of a country other than the one in which he or she currently works and/or resides (or if he or she is considered as such for local law purposes), or if the Participant transfers employment and/or residence to another country after the RSUs have been granted, the Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its discretion, will determine the extent to which the terms and conditions herein will be applicable to the Participant. Notifications This Appendix also includes information regarding securities laws, exchange controls and certain other issues of which the Participant should be aware with respect to his or her participation in the Plan. The information is based on the securities, exchange control and other laws in effect in the respective countries as of January 2026. Such laws are often complex and change frequently.
