What is Akamai API Security
An API security platform that provides automated discovery, documentation, and continuous security testing throughout the API lifecycle.
Understanding API Security in Cybersecurity: A Comprehensive Overview
API Security is a cybersecurity solution designed to provide robust protection for APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) against various threats and vulnerabilities. It is essential for ensuring the integrity and availability of the data that is exchanged through these interfaces.
Key Capabilities Offered
1. API Discovery: Continuously identifies and catalogs all APIs within an organization's infrastructure, including shadow, zombie, and rogue APIs. 2. Vulnerability Assessment: Detects vulnerabilities and misconfigurations in APIs, including those listed in the OWASP API Top 10 security risks. 3. Threat Detection: Utilizes machine learning to identify API attacks, data leakage, data tampering, policy violations, and suspicious activities in real-time. 4. Compliance Monitoring: Regularly verifies that APIs comply with regulatory requirements, industry standards, and internal policies. 5. Dynamic Testing: Mimics malicious traffic and performs dynamic tests on APIs to reveal potential vulnerabilities. 6. Remediation: Integrates with existing workflow management systems to enable manual, semi-automated, or fully automated resolution of identified issues. 7. CI/CD Integration: Works seamlessly with CI/CD pipelines to ensure API security testing is part of the development process. 8. API Governance: Enhances API governance by importing APIs from various sources and evaluating their compliance with specifications.
