Increase API security across your enterprise with advanced AI-powered capabilities
IBM is partnering with Akamai Security to deliver advanced API protection
APIs are growing faster than most organizations can secure them. As application footprints expand, unmanaged or poorly secured APIs have become a top attack vector for web applications.
API gateways and web application firewalls offer a level of protection, but they weren't built to address the specific ways attackers target APIs. Organizations need security capabilities purpose-built for APIs to close this gap.
IBM, a leader in API management and application gateways, is partnering with Akamai Security, a leader in API security, to deliver advanced API security capabilities. This joint solution will help you reach new levels of security confidence.
