ExploreProduct Description
Akamai Technologies API Security is a dedicated solution designed to protect APIs across their entire lifecycle—from development through production. It enables organizations to build secure APIs, safeguard existing ones, identify vulnerabilities before they are exploited, and significantly minimize their overall API attack surface.
The solution is structured around four key API security domains aligned with industry standards:
Discovery – Automatically detect and inventory all APIs across your environment (Discovery Module).
Posture Management – Evaluate and continuously maintain the security posture of your APIs (Posture Management Module).
Runtime Protection – Protect APIs and related resources during live operation (Runtime Protection Module).
Testing – Identify and remediate API vulnerabilities during the development phase (Active Testing Module).
Akamai API Security integrates seamlessly with existing application environments—such as API gateways, load balancers, and WAFs—providing full API visibility without adding complexity or disrupting current infrastructure.
