Akamai API Security solution protects APIs throughout their entire lifecycle, from dev to prod.
Overview
Akamai API Security is a purpose-built solution to protect APIs throughout their entire lifecycle, from development to production. With Akamai, companies can build secure APIs, secure their existing APIs, detect vulnerabilities before they are exploited, and greatly reduce the API attack surface.
The solution is designed to align with four industry-standard API Security domains:
- Discovery: Identify and catalog all APIs present within your environments (Discovery Module)
- Posture Management: Assess and maintain the overall security posture of your APIs (Posture Management Module)
- Runtime Protection: Safeguard APIs and their associated resources during runtime or execution (Runtime Protection Module)
- Testing: Find and remediate API vulnerabilities during the development lifecycle (Active Testing Module)
Akamai API Security has been developed to seamlessly integrate with your existing application environments, including API gateways, load balancers, and WAFs, to provide complete visibility into your APIs without introducing complexity or disrupting your existing infrastructure.

Akamai helps protect to secure web traffic within a given environment. It can be through HTTP/HTTPS layer, DNS layer protection and any other protocol residing on Layer 7 of OSI Layer.

Our best alternative for content delivery network is Akamai after Cloudflare. We have a lot of customers for those we have developed custom software, and on each case, Akamai has given us precisely what we need. Also it is quick and simple to use.

Akamai's preliminary configuration is hard to understand, and the API is difficult to implement. We also encountered initial issues with large pictures and videos struggling to load, which demanded extra development work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use this for Streaming mainly, one of our clients has an online image editing tool, which requires heavy transfers of stock images. We use Akamai for enterprise use only, it offers a robust API to scale and a better solution category.
