About Akamai App & API Protector
Akamai App & API Protector is a cloud security service that protects websites, applications and APIs from Akamai's edge network. It combines a web application firewall against OWASP Top 10 threats, an Adaptive Security Engine that tunes protections with machine learning, API discovery, bot controls and Layer 7 DDoS defence. A Hybrid option extends the WAF to on-premises and multi-cloud setups, and it can be managed through APIs, a CLI, Terraform and SIEM connectors.
