Akamai Technologies

Akamai provides cybersecurity, cloud computing, and content delivery solutions for organizations operating digital services. Its API Security offering helps teams discover, assess, test, and protect APIs throughout their lifecycle, from development through runtime. The service builds a continuously updated inventory using information from traffic, code, specifications, gateways, cloud environments, and external exposure points. It can identify shadow, unmanaged, and AI-linked APIs, including those connected to generative AI applications, large language model services, and MCP servers.

Akamai API Security assesses security posture, compliance alignment, sensitive data exposure, and API behavior to help teams prioritize risk. It detects activity such as abnormal usage, business logic abuse, data scraping, and potential attacks, and supports more than 200 security tests in CI/CD and preproduction workflows. Findings can be routed to owners and connected systems, including SIEM, ITSM, ticketing, WAAP, and developer workflows, to support remediation. Akamai also offers a managed API Security service, providing access to its security experts for ongoing monitoring, investigation, and response support.
