Description
Akamai API Security stands out as a versatile, vendor-neutral solution for API threat protection that operates seamlessly across various environments, including SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid setups, ensuring that organizations maintain comprehensive visibility over their entire API landscape, no matter where their APIs are hosted. Its features encompass continuous discovery and inventory management of APIs, automated assessments of the security posture for exposed APIs, real-time monitoring of API traffic flows (both north-south and east-west), and behavior analytics aimed at identifying unusual or abusive usage patterns, all while integrating smoothly with development workflows to facilitate early testing and remediation of API-specific vulnerabilities during the development lifecycle. Among its primary advantages are the ability to compile an exhaustive inventory of APIs, detect and safeguard vulnerable endpoints, automate security testing for APIs, and respond promptly to potential API threats, all while ensuring compatibility with existing security tools like gateways and WAFs without necessitating their replacement. This holistic approach not only enhances security but also streamlines the integration of API management into an organization’s overall security framework, making it an invaluable asset for modern enterprises navigating the complexities of API security.
Description
Akamai Prolexic is a DDoS protection solution that helps organizations protect internet-facing infrastructure from attacks that can cause outages, service degradation, and network congestion. The platform supports cloud, on-premises, and hybrid deployments and can operate continuously or be activated on demand depending on an organization's requirements.

Akamai provides 32 global anycast scrubbing centers and more than 20 Tbps of dedicated DDoS defense capacity within its broader network infrastructure of more than 1 Pbps. Prolexic includes dynamic mitigation controls for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, network-wide access control lists, and firewall capabilities through Prolexic Network Cloud Firewall. Organizations can also use Prolexic over Akamai Direct Connect to establish private, high-performance connectivity between their origins and Akamai's DDoS protection infrastructure. Akamai provides a 100% Prolexic platform availability SLA and a zero-second mitigation SLA, with 24/7/365 support and optional managed security operations services. The service is backed by more than 225 frontline Security Operations Command Center defenders who assist customers before, during, and after attacks.
