Akamai’s Behavioral Analytics Uncovers Hidden API Endpoints and Logic Abuse Incidents
We initially brought Akamai in just to get a handle on our shadow API problem, but it has become a core part of our SOC workflow.

It took a few weeks to tune the baseline, but now the signal-to-noise ratio is excellent. - Information Security Specialist50M-1B USDBankingReview Source
