API Security

Source: www.akamai.com

API Security gives you comprehensive insights into your entire API environment through continuous discovery and real-time analysis. Discover all APIs, including shadow APIs, identify common vulnerabilities, and analyze API behavior to uncover threats and logic abuse in this rapidly growing attack vector.

App & API Protector

App & API Protector combines Web Application Firewall, Bot Defense, API Security, and DDoS protection in a single solution, including Layer 7 DDoS protection. This solution quickly detects vulnerabilities and stops threats in the most complex web and API architectures. App & API Protector is the leading solution for attack protection on the market. It is easy to implement and use and offers automatic security updates as well as a comprehensive view of traffic and attacks.

+++ Stop evolving attacks with smarter security +++

Most WAFs struggle to keep up with evolving threats, leaving applications and APIs vulnerable to zero-day attacks, API abuse, and sophisticated DDoS or bot-based fraud attempts. Many security teams have to manually update rules, optimize policies, and add third-party tools for protection. This slows down response times and increases false positives.

Akamai Adaptive Security Engine provides automated real-time protection for edge, cloud, and hybrid environments. The solution continuously updates security policies based on global threat intelligence and protects against OWASP Top 10 threats, CVEs, and API exploits. App & API Protector Hybrid extends WAF protection beyond the CDN and secures North-South and East-West traffic for a unified security posture.

For many companies, implementing zero trust security is a major challenge. The requirements are complex and the investment is not insignificant. The protective measures cover all assets on-site and in the cloud, as well as all workplaces, including remote work.

One of the core components of the Akamai Guardicore Platform is microsegmentation.

Akamai Guardicore’s host-based network segmentation is revolutionizing the market for traditional firewalls. The software-only approach is decoupled from the physical network and offers a faster alternative. Akamai Guardicore Segmentation is designed for agile companies and offers more security and visibility in the cloud, data center, and endpoint. The key features are:

Broad coverage – Microsegmentation policies are implemented wherever your applications run – in public, private, or hybrid cloud environments.

Deep Visibility – Akamai’s solution helps you understand the full context through application discovery and mapping of dependencies before you define security policies.

Intuitive Workflow – Akamai Guardicore Segmentation offers a simple workflow. From mapping application dependencies to recommending and defining rules. This allows you to understand relationships in order to optimally apply them to data traffic.

Granular policies – Now you can define and enforce rules at the process level. This allows you to precisely control the flow between individual application components in order to achieve the highest level of security.

High flexibility at low cost – Akamai’s solution is more cost-effective, efficient, and adaptable than traditional firewalls.

Microsegmentation provides a detailed view of network traffic. This gives administrators better control over the data. In addition, microsegmentation can be used to identify data traffic that requires preferential treatment or management. This can include data that needs to be specially protected to comply with regulations or standards.

Finally, microsegmentation is a core component of sophisticated security concepts, such as zero-trust networking. This is used to verify the identity of a user before they can access a device on the network.

Dividing data center and cloud environments into individual logical parts makes it possible to protect critical data, processes, and systems against attacks. This involves enforcing the highest security policies, monitoring data flows between data centers, and isolating data access.

Akamai Guardicore – Network Segmentation in the Textile Industry

Cyber attacks on retail companies have increased sharply over the last 12 months. Attackers typically target business-critical IT assets, that, if compromised, bring the entire operation to a standstill. When intruders are successful, ransom payments are often demanded as the next step. This is known as a ransomware attack. Our customers had already experienced security incidents and were looking for a way to reduce attack surfaces and safeguard critical resources from ransomware. They wanted a simple, fast, and scalable solution that complements their existing IT infrastructure without requiring costly security hardware.

Akamai Guardicore – Network Segmentation for Distributed Locations

The number of successful cyber attacks on German companies is growing. Attackers are no longer limiting themselves to local resources, but are expanding their attacks to the entire IT landscape. The increasing interconnectedness between devices, tools and users works in their favor. Many companies lack the necessary security practices to consistently protect their environments and data across multiple data centers and clouds. This has led businesses to ask whether cyber insurance from major providers is enough to reduce the risk of an attack — and how to meet the insurers’ requirements for obtaining it.
