Enterprise security, DevSecOps, and API-platform teams searching for a tool providing discovery, monitoring, posture management and runtime protection for APIs across hybrid and complex environments

About Akamai API Security

Akamai API Security is a vendor-neutral, platform-agnostic API threat protection solution that works across SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid environments, giving enterprises full visibility into their API estate regardless of where the APIs are deployed. It provides continuous API discovery and inventory, automated posture assessment of exposed APIs, runtime monitoring of API traffic (both north-south and east-west), behaviour analytics to detect anomalous or abusive API usage, and integrates with development workflows to test and remediate API-specific vulnerabilities earlier in the lifecycle. Key benefits include enabling teams to create a comprehensive inventory of APIs, identify and protect vulnerable endpoints, automate API security testing, and respond to API threats in real time, while integrating with existing gateways, WAFs, and infrastructure without requiring replacement of those tools.

Unprotected web applications and APIs are the easiest point of entry for hackers and vulnerable to a number of attack types. FortiWeb's AI-enhanced and multi-layered approach protects your web apps from the OWASP Top 10 and more. FortiWeb ML customizes the protection of each application, providing robust protection without requiring the time-consuming manual tuning required by other solutions. With ML, FortiWeb identifies anomalous behavior and, more importantly, distinguishes between malicious and benign anomalies. The solution also features robust bot mitigation capabilities, allowing benign bots to connect (e.g. search engines) while blocking malicious bot activity. FortiWeb also features API discovery and security, as well as threat analytics to identify meaningful security incidents. FortiWeb is available as an appliance, VM, and fully featured WAF-as-a-Service - which is available to trial and purchase in most cloud marketplaces.
