Defend Together with Akamai: Advanced API Security Capabilities

Presented by Stas Neyman, Director of Product Marketing, API Security, this session explores how to secure applications and APIs well beyond the edge where traditional WAAP controls fall short. Attendees will discover five advanced capabilities essential for a complete API security program, including shadow API discovery, granular posture management, and streamlined remediation with code-level context. The discussion will also highlight how comprehensive compliance visibility and early API testing help catch vulnerabilities before they ever reach runtime. Ultimately, this session demonstrates how dedicated API security complements existing defenses by extending governance across the entire API lifecycle.
