About Akamai API Security

Akamai API Security is a comprehensive solution designed to protect APIs throughout their entire lifecycle, from development to production. It offers continuous discovery, testing, analytics, and response capabilities to help organizations maintain a strong security posture for their APIs. The platform provides full API protection, including shadow API discovery, positive and negative security testing, and advanced behavioral analytics to identify and mitigate threats. With Akamai's extensive edge network, it can deliver real-time protection and scaling. For developers and security teams, Akamai API Security reduces the risk of data breaches and compliance violations. AiDOOS enhances deployment and adoption by simplifying orchestration, automating workflows, and providing centralized visibility, thus accelerating time-to-value and ensuring consistent enforcement of security policies across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Challenges It Solves

  • Lack of visibility into all APIs, leading to shadow API risks
  • Difficulty in detecting and responding to API-specific attacks
  • Ineffective traditional security measures for APIs
  • Compliance burdens due to inadequate API security controls

"Highly unstable product."
Despite having friendly support staff, the product itself was unreliable. It required server reinstallation frequently. The capabilities for API security and sensitive data scanning were present but couldn't compensate for the instability.

"Unique API Protection Platform"
Noname Security is a comprehensive API security solution that simplifies safeguarding API endpoints against cyber threats. It offers numerous valuable features that provide users with a thorough view of their API landscape. My overall experience has been positive. Noname Security shields our endpoints and saves us considerable time and effort. With it, our development teams can quickly build robust, secure APIs.

Cyber Defense Intern
"Excellent API Security Solution"
For a medium-sized enterprise like ours, the real-time automated detection and blocking of attacks is ideal. Noname identifies abnormal activity and stops it without human intervention, freeing us to concentrate on network reinforcement. Deployment was straightforward, and the support team from Noname was extremely accommodating. Pricing may be a bit high for medium businesses, but given Noname's reliability, it's definitely worth the investment. It can integrate with existing DevSecOps API security testing tools, and having all data accessible at a single click accelerates our mitigation efforts.

"Akamai API Security Enhances Our Existing Security Stack"
The solution detects runtime anomalies, identifies shadow and zombie APIs, and spots potential vulnerabilities during the design phase. Since it hasn't been in production long, I can't provide a comprehensive assessment yet. However, especially the pattern-based anomaly detection in both runtime and design stages should fortify our APIs against advanced threats.

"Useful API Visibility, but UI Could Be Smoother"
I find Noname Security to be excellent at offering comprehensive API visibility, which allows me to spot issues early and gain a better comprehension of our risk exposure. The guidance it provides is specific and straightforward, helping me prioritize without being bombarded by alerts. Its API catalog, risk ranking, and early problem detection are dependable and valuable in my daily routine. I also like how smoothly it works with our current API gateways and SIEM, augmenting the information and ensuring seamless integration. Adopting Noname Security provided us real-time monitoring, improved accuracy, and a fuller view of our API ecosystem, addressing gaps we previously couldn't cover. The setup was relatively simple, and after configuring the connectors, data started flowing in quickly, exceeding my expectations. The main area for enhancement is the interface's responsiveness and performance when handling large volumes of data. The learning curve can be a bit challenging, and a more streamlined user experience would be beneficial. These are minor issues, but there's potential for making the tool more intuitive and faster. I rely on Noname Security for complete API visibility, early issue detection, and strengthening our security posture. It assists in uncovering shadow APIs, configuration errors, and weaknesses, streamlining our API security workflows and reducing time and hassle.
