Authentication and Authorization

To ensure that only authorized users or systems can access the API and perform specific operations.

Advanced Encryption

We protect all data transmitted via the API with state-of-the-art encryption techniques, such as SSL/TLS, ensuring your information remains secure throughout the entire process.

Access Control

We offer precise access control, ensuring that each user or system has access only to the data necessary for their roles, avoiding unnecessary exposure.

Real-Time Security Monitoring

Our solutions include continuous API monitoring, detecting any suspicious activity and preventing potential security breaches.

Secure API Key Management

Efficiently and securely managing API keys, ensuring they are stored and transmitted with complete protection.

Security

Vulnerability Detection

Our platform analyzes the widest range of sources to detect vulnerabilities, including log files, historical traffic replays, configuration files, and more. It identifies all vulnerabilities listed in the OWASP API Security Top 10, ensuring comprehensive protection.

Sensitive Data Protection

Our data classification capabilities provide visibility into the types of data flowing through your APIs. Quickly identify how many APIs can access sensitive information such as credit card data, phone numbers, SSNs, and more. This ensures a clear understanding of your data exposure and enables proactive protection of sensitive information.

API Monitoring

API inventory goes beyond just numbers. Gain visibility into where your APIs are being accessed, when they were last updated, the type of data being accessed, and the number of users interacting with the API. This comprehensive monitoring ensures better management and security of your API ecosystem.

Comprehensive and Proactive API Security Platform

AKAMAI

The Akamai API Security Platform is built around three fundamental pillars of functionality and is designed to identify gaps in your security posture, protect your API state or environment in real time, and ensure that all new additions or changes to your applications are secure and safeguarded. Let’s explore each of these pillars in more detail:

ACTIVE TESTING

Stop Vulnerabilities Before Production and Innovate Quickly

Active Testing is an API security testing solution that understands your unique business logic and provides comprehensive coverage of API-specific vulnerabilities. API security testing helps reinforce security at every stage of development, ensuring a robust and secure application lifecycle.

POSTURE MANAGEMENT

Noname Reveals All APIs Across Your Environment, Including Rogue and Shadow APIs

Traditional application security controls provide only partial protection for APIs. The reality is that organizations must address security holistically across the API ecosystem, from code development to production.

RUNTIME PROTECTION

Prevent Attacks in Real Time

Leverage AI and ML-powered automatic detection to identify API vulnerabilities, data policy violations, suspicious behavior, and API security attacks. Runtime Protection provides real-time visibility into how your APIs are functioning, whether sensitive data is exposed, or if they are vulnerable to attacks, ensuring proactive and comprehensive security.

The Akamai API Security Platform 3.0 empowers users to identify issues across different regions, ensuring comprehensive monitoring and consistent protection throughout their API ecosystem.

Akamai Announces API Security Platform 3.0Akamai has unveiled version 3.0 of its API Security Platform, designed to empower AppSec teams with flexible API security. The platform delivers API protection that adapts to any environment, market, or regulatory requirement.

According to The 2022 API Security Trends report by 451 Research:The number of APIs in use among survey respondents increased by 201% over 12 months. 41% of organizations represented in the survey experienced an API security incident in the past year. 63% of those incidents involved a data breach or loss.This highlights the critical need for robust API security measures, which Akamai’s 3.0 platform aims to address.

Akamai API Security Platform: A Game-Changer in API Protection

The “Akamai Remote Engine” has revolutionized API security. “Our partners’ clients operate across multiple cloud environments throughout Asia and need to keep sensitive data, such as PII, within each cloud environment to comply with international and local regulatory requirements,” said Jeremy Woo, Founder and CEO of AZ Asia-Pacific. “Akamai allows them to achieve this without compromising performance or complicating the management of multiple environments.”

Key Features of the Akamai API Security Platform
