Akamai Technologies, Inc. announced on April 9, 2025, the introduction of App & API Protector Hybrid, a new solution designed to expand web application firewall (WAF) capabilities. This hybrid offering provides consistent security for applications and APIs across multicloud, on-premises, and CDN-agnostic environments. It addresses the increasing challenge for security leaders to protect dispersed applications while balancing efficiency, visibility, and cost-effectiveness.
App & API Protector Hybrid is engineered to safeguard applications, APIs, microservices, and workloads against a range of sophisticated threats, while delivering resilience, scalability, and simplified security management. The solution allows organizations to deploy WAF capabilities closer to applications, gain unified visibility and management across all environments, and reduce operational overhead.
Rupesh Chokshi, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Application Security, Akamai, stated that the solution gives customers the ability to protect their applications in any environment without compromising security. As customer environments become more distributed, the need for consistent protection across infrastructures has never been greater, and this solution simplifies that challenge.
