Akamai Technologies, Inc. announced on October 1, 2024, the general availability of a new native connector between Akamai API Security and Akamai Connected Cloud. This integration is designed to simplify and accelerate the discovery and protection of APIs for customers. It enables them to send a copy of their Akamai Connected Cloud traffic directly to API Security for analysis and to rapidly block attacks.
The native connector provides customers with an easy and effective way to gain visibility into their API traffic and protect against attacks without impacting performance or incurring additional costs. This is crucial as APIs are increasingly vital for business innovation and growth, yet also represent significant security risks if not properly secured.
Akamai API Security maintains a vendor-neutral approach, integrating with over 40 traffic sources including cloud environments, API gateways, and web application firewalls. The native connector is already in use by more than 100 Akamai customers, analyzing over 300,000 APIs that generate more than half a trillion monthly requests.
