  1. Network and Application Security Solutions to Eliminate Vulnerabilities and Mitigate Risks

  2. Until relatively recently, IT security generally meant network and system security as the IT infrastructure was dominated by hardware. However, as organizations began moving to the cloud during the past decade, physical infrastructures were hidden behind the layers of virtualization, and applications began to be designed and deployed entirely in the cloud. At the same time, web applications and APIs have become the main target of hackers and cybercriminals. • As the trend towards depending more on increasingly complicated web applications continues, it has been critically important to manage all aspects of applications and networks through a comprehensive security solution that can provide security at the host-, network-, application- and API-level boundaries. However, many people mistakenly associate network security with web application security. While there are some similarities between the two, there are some clear distinctions as well.

  3. A web application and API protection (WAAP) solution can provide continuous visibility with comprehensive insights, and full capability to identify and stop the most sophisticated attacks. The application security solution should be flexible, scalable, and easy to administer. Additionally, web application security should go beyond the traditional signature-based detection to more advanced forms of adaptive web application and DDoS protection for the most accurate and reliable security outcomes. A WAAP solution with robust API discovery, protection and control capabilities can mitigate API vulnerabilities and reduce surface area risks for an organization’s network. Automated workflows can maximize investment for an organization, and improve operational efficiencies. • Akamai’s App & API Protector with Advanced Security Management provides rate controls that allow customers to define thresholds for requests on a per-API basis, and limits clients when they exceed those thresholds. It can also restrict the size, type, and depth of requests, like request constraints can be used to validate JSON and XML against predefined formats to prevent resource exhaustion. Flexible, scalable, and easy to administer security solutions

  4. Automated vulnerability scanning can help organizations detect more vulnerabilities but this can only keep a handful of critical applications secure. This means, vulnerabilities in other assets require manual fixing, which usually happens weeks later or is even not fixed at all. In fact, outdated workflows pose the biggest risk to enterprise network and application security. Automated vulnerability scanning

  5. Deploying a holistic web application and API protection (WAAP) solution can strengthen an organization’s information security strategy and provide insight into emerging risks to target security gaps and stop web and API-based attacks. Akamai App & API Protector is designed to protect entire web and API estates with a holistic set of powerful protections purposely built with custom-focused automation and simplicity. App & API Protector brings together many industry-leading core technologies in web application firewall, bot mitigation, API security, and DDoS protection under a single, easy-to-use solution. Organizations need a fully integrated network and application security process

  6. Akamai’s web app and API protection manages risks from the new or previously unknown APIs while monitoring for malicious payloads. The solution automatically and effortlessly pushes the latest protections for an enterprise’s apps and APIs. Custom dashboards, real-time alerts, and SIEM integration help the teams investigate and triage attacks. The simplicity of Akamai App & API Protector belies some of the most advanced security automation available today. Powered by a new security adaptive security engine, the web app and API protection brings together many industry-leading core technologies in web application firewall, API security, bot mitigation, and DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) protection, under a single, easy-to-use solution. • Overall, you will have stronger security with less effort with the App & API Protector. However, Akamai understands that every organization will have an individualized approach to its network and application security. That’s why the world’s largest edge platform Akamai offers a 30-day test run for the App & API Protector to help you find out what its web app and API protection has to offer you.
