Akamai App & API Protector is a cloud-based solution designed to protect applications and APIs from a wide range of network and application-layer threats. This time-consuming process can be a drain on IT security teams - and an obstacle for application security.Īkamai can help. But WAF solutions must be constantly tuned as threats evolve and applications change. And cybercriminals are constantly refining their methods, using automated bots, botnets, and vulnerability scanners to launch multi-vector attacks.Ī web application firewall (WAF) can mitigate many types of cyberattacks on web applications and APIs. The number of web application vulnerabilities reaches into the tens of thousands and grows larger every year. More organizations are adopting microservices-based architectures and relying on APIs for virtually every online interaction, creating new potential entry points for hackers.

As web applications and APIs become more complex, protecting them from cyberthreats becomes increasingly difficult.
