Our take
What our shortlists say about the one we picked.
- Akamai API Security
Best for: Teams needing a full API inventory with risk scores
It earns its place because it reaches the APIs you may not know you run, including the ones wired to AI services, and then hands blocks and fixes to your WAF, SIEM and ITSM. It fits best if your traffic already passes through Akamai's CDN, since it connects there natively. If you are not on Akamai, ask how it will see your traffic before you plan the rollout.
