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.
