Akamai API Security is a platform that provides visibility and protection for APIs across an organization's infrastructure. The product automatically discovers and inventories APIs, including shadow, zombie, and AI-related APIs such as those connected to GenAI models, LLMs, AI services, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. The platform analyzes APIs for vulnerabilities based on the OWASP Top 10 API Security Risks and identifies misconfigurations that attackers may exploit. It provides visualizations of business logic, network infrastructure, and API traffic flows to help security teams understand API context and behavior. API Security monitors for anomalous usage, API attacks, data leakage, tampering, and policy violations. The platform integrates with CI/CD pipelines to enable shift-left testing, running automated tests that simulate malicious traffic before APIs reach production. It can block API attacks and create workflows for remediation by integrating with WAFs, SIEMs, and ITSM tools. The solution offers continuous monitoring for compliance with regulatory requirements and industry standards. It connects natively to Akamai CDN to assess API traffic and can find APIs in source code to identify sensitive data access points. A managed security service option is available for organizations seeking continuous monitoring and threat response support from Akamai security experts.
