As the reliance on APIs continues to surge, so does the scale of security threats aimed at exploiting data vulnerabilities. These threats highlight the need for effective data protection methods. Data tokenization and data encryption stand out as key techniques, each offering unique benefits and applications.

In our upcoming webinar, we'll closely examine these strategies, emphasizing the critical role of tokenization in safeguarding your API data.

Join us to explore the essentials of API data protection and discover the importance of tokenization in creating a robust security strategy. We'll demonstrate how tokenization ensures the safety of your data, maintaining its confidentiality, integrity, and accessibility in our digital era.

Explore the lifecycle of an API with a focus on evolving security measures in episode 4 in the “If An API Could Talk” series. We will showcase how adopting a strong API security program leads to many different lenses of visibility including discovery, risk audits, and behavioral detection.

Gain insights through our recent State of the Internet report, real-world case studies on overcoming breaches and enhancing incident response. Join us to master API security best practices and stay ahead in the digital landscape.

Despite the complexity of algorithms and advanced security protocols, API security often fails to consider the sophisticated intersection of AI and API security. We will bridge this gap in our upcoming episode, ""Rise of AI Assisted API Attacks,"" by highlighting how emerging AI technologies can be harnessed to enhance protection against these modern threats.

This session will guide attendees through the latest trends in AI-driven attacks, how attackers are using AI to attack APIs, and tips and tricks from our Threat hunting team on how they use automation to combat these fast-growing threats.

APIs are too often rushed into production without proper testing. This creates conflict between the economic demand for new business services and the security requirements to protect these new services. Plus, developers and DevOps teams are the ones who often perform API security testing since it is very technical and has a steep learning curve.

Join this webinar to learn how testing your APIs doesn’t have to be a roadblock to your organization. With the right mindset and tools, you can reduce the cost of fixing security vulnerabilities, continue to deliver new functionality at breakneck speeds, and improve the security posture of your APIs.

If you've been wanting to double down on your API security strategy, now is the perfect time. Learn how you can locate legacy and undocumented APIs, monitor traffic to eliminate vulnerabilities, and prevent attacks in real-time. We'll show you how to integrate robust security tests, uncover data policy violations, and build security into your API development process.

With Akamai API Security's new flexible deployment options, extended intelligence across API traffic locations, and expanded suite of integrations as part of our acquisition of Noname security, you can protect your API environment across any platform.

Don't miss this chance to enhance your API security and take advantage of Akamai's new, advanced API protections for your organization.

In this episode of “If Your APIs Could Talk”, we will uncover intricate strategies used by cyber attackers through a real-life API breach, focusing on the vulnerabilities that were exploited to manipulate a major retailer's loyalty program. Discover the significant impact of these attacks and the measures you can take to reinforce defenses and avoid similar intrusions. This episode will help you learn more about the constantly changing landscape of API security and ways to safeguard your organization against advanced API threats.

In this "If Your APIs Could Talk" episode, we'll explore the Akamai API Security Native Connector feature. This new integration, built directly into our API Security solution, enables companies to send a copy of their Akamai Connected Cloud traffic to our API Security solution for analysis with just a few clicks. Enabling this integration provides complete visibility into your APIs across environments managed by Akamai, allowing for the detection of vulnerabilities and the ability to rapidly act on runtime incidents. The session will include a demonstration of the connector's seamless deployment, a technical explanation of how it works, and a spotlight on its operational benefits.

In this episode of "If Your APIs Could Talk," we explore the Workflow Automation feature of Akamai API Security. This feature dramatically improves efficiency and productivity by simplifying the creation of multi-action workflows. It uses a user-friendly visual editor, customizable workflow samples, and over 300 pre-built connectors. In this session, you'll learn how to automate complex event response processes and synchronize incident-related data with third-party services like ServiceNow, JIRA, and Azure DevOps. We'll also provide examples of common workflow use cases, including:

- Incident creation in ITSM solutions
- Notifications to security and business teams
- Data customization
- Bi-directional sync with ticketing systems
- Preventive workflows to block suspicious traffic

Whether you're an existing user or considering Akamai API Security, this episode will provide valuable insights into using Workflow Automation to streamline your security operations.
