Advanced API defense has protected web channels and consistently reduced downtime and incident impact
Akamai API Security helps comply with DORA compliance in the Europe region, preventing any compliance issues. It helps demonstrate that the ISO understands the secured side is protected by Akamai API Security, ensuring that if any DOS attack is present, it will not occur or take the side down. Currently, no improvements are apparent. In the last few years, there was improvement as bot attacks have been addressed, with more focus now placed on bot attacks. At that time, there was a drawback, but Akamai API Security is improving day by day. Currently, no drawbacks are evident, and the product is good. Akamai API Security is delivering the best products every year.
