Akamai Technologies, Inc. announced on June 25, 2025, new enhancements to its Akamai API Security solution, designed to help customers stay ahead of evolving API threats. These improvements address visibility gaps across the API development and production lifecycle, building on Akamai's recent industry recognition for its API security offerings. Key enhancements include the introduction of the first managed service built specifically for API security, combining real-time monitoring, expert response, and clear guidance to help organizations catch threats early and reduce risk. Additionally, Akamai API Security now integrates with code repositories, allowing teams to scan API specifications and code to spot risks before launch, even for APIs that have not yet gone live. A new Compliance Dashboard provides teams with a centralized view to check how their APIs align with key security and privacy standards, such as PCI DSS v4.0, GDPR, and the MITRE ATT&CK framework. This feature aims to make audits easier and reduce compliance risk, offering a comprehensive and proactive approach to API protection.
