API Security
Discover, classify, and protect every API endpoint — internal, partner, or public — across your estate.
What you're up against.
Shadow APIs you don't know exist
APIs accumulate faster than they're documented. Legacy endpoints, developer shortcuts, and forgotten microservices create attack surface no one is actively defending.
Business logic abuse
Standard WAF rules don't understand your API's intent. Attackers exploit valid endpoints in invalid ways — rate anomalies, parameter manipulation, scraping through legitimate calls.
Stolen credentials stay active too long
Compromised API keys and JWTs are the entry point for most API breaches. Without continuous monitoring, stolen tokens remain active for weeks before detection.
From deployment to continuous operation.
Discover
We deploy passive inspection to build a complete inventory of every API endpoint in your estate — including the ones your team doesn't know exist.
Classify
Endpoints are tagged by risk: public vs internal, authenticated vs open, sensitive data exposure, and OWASP API Top 10 coverage gaps.
Protect
Policies are applied per endpoint: schema validation, rate limiting, bot detection, and anomaly alerting tuned to each endpoint's expected behaviour.
Monitor
Continuous traffic analysis detects new endpoints, policy drift, and abuse patterns — with alerts before they become incidents.
What's included.
API discovery & inventory
Automatic detection of all REST, GraphQL, and gRPC endpoints — including shadow APIs never intended to be public.
Behavioural anomaly detection
Baseline normal usage per endpoint and alert when traffic deviates — catching abuse before it causes damage.
Schema enforcement
Reject requests that don't match your API contract. Stop parameter pollution and unexpected payloads at the edge.
OWASP API Top 10 coverage
Systematic protection against broken object authorisation, mass assignment, security misconfigurations, and all Top 10 categories.
Rate limiting & throttling
Per-endpoint, per-consumer rate controls that protect backend systems without blocking legitimate integrations.
Token & credential monitoring
Detect anomalous token usage patterns that indicate stolen credentials in circulation — before they're exploited further.
API attacks are now the most common vector for web application breaches. Eknix brings the same Akamai edge intelligence used to protect the world's largest financial APIs to your entire estate.
