Web Application Security
Stop OWASP Top 10 attacks, credential stuffing, and zero-day exploits before they reach your origin.
What you're up against.
Bots that look legitimate
Modern credential stuffing and scraping bots mimic real browser behaviour. Signature-based rules built for yesterday's threats miss the ones causing real damage today.
Zero-day exploits
New attack vectors emerge faster than vendors ship signatures. Without active tuning and threat intelligence, your WAF is perpetually one step behind.
False positives blocking real customers
An overly aggressive WAF blocks legitimate users and drives up support costs. Calibrating the balance requires engineers who know your actual traffic patterns.
From deployment to continuous operation.
Deploy
We onboard your applications onto Akamai App & API Protector, configured for your specific traffic patterns and application architecture from day one.
Tune
Our engineers baseline your legitimate traffic and calibrate rules to your application — not generic templates that generate noise and false positives.
Monitor
24/7 alerting, false-positive review, and bot intelligence updates keep your defences current as attack patterns evolve.
Operate
Monthly rule reviews, incident response support, and continuous refinement as your application and threat landscape change.
What's included.
WAF — OWASP Top 10
Full coverage of injection attacks, XSS, CSRF, and the complete Top 10 catalog, tuned to your application's actual traffic.
Bot Management
Real-time detection and mitigation of credential stuffing, scraping, and synthetic traffic at the edge before it reaches your origin.
Account Takeover Prevention
Identify and stop ATO attempts before fraudulent access is established, using behavioural signals and global reputation data.
API Protection
Extend WAF policies to REST and GraphQL APIs — applying the same rigour to your API surface as your web front end.
Client Reputation Scoring
Edge-level IP and client scoring based on threat intelligence aggregated across Akamai's 1.3 trillion daily requests.
Adaptive Rate Limiting
Rate limits tuned to legitimate user patterns — not blunt per-IP thresholds that block real users during peak traffic.
Akamai's Bot Manager draws on signals from over 1.3 trillion daily interactions across the world's largest edge network — accuracy no point solution can match.
