Mastering API Management and Security
summary
Most organizations cannot say how many APIs they run—answers range from a few hundred to tens of thousands—while the average enterprise runs >1,000 applications. Akamai claims ~300 Tbps throughput (one third web) and expects API abuse to double year over year. Built components include an in‑network security node, an continuous API discovery pipeline, a risk audit that flags misconfigurations and unencrypted payment data, an anonymized data lake for behavioral baselining, and a turn targeting team that investigates alerts and hunts threats for faster mitigation.
