Akamai API Security vs. Akto vs. Imvision vs. JavaScript Comparison Chart

Akamai API Security is a vendor-neutral, platform-agnostic API threat protection solution that works across SaaS, on-premises, and hybrid environments, giving enterprises full visibility into their API estate regardless of where the APIs are deployed. It provides continuous API discovery and inventory, automated posture assessment of exposed APIs, runtime monitoring of API traffic (both north-south and east-west), behaviour analytics to detect anomalous or abusive API usage, and integrates with development workflows to test and remediate API-specific vulnerabilities earlier in the lifecycle. Key benefits include enabling teams to create a comprehensive inventory of APIs, identify and protect vulnerable endpoints, automate API security testing, and respond to API threats in real time, while integrating with existing gateways, WAFs, and infrastructure without requiring replacement of those tools.

How enterprises secure their APIs. Protect your APIs wherever they are, throughout their lifecycle. Gain visibility across the board and deeply understand the business logic behind your APIs. Uncover endpoints, usage patterns, expected flows, and sensitive data exposure through full API payload data analysis. By analyzing the full API data, Imvision allows you to go beyond predefined rules in order to discover unknown vulnerabilities, prevent functional attacks, and automatically shift-left to outsmart attackers. Natural Language Processing (NLP) allows us to achieve high detection accuracy at scale while providing detailed explainability. It can effectively detect ‘Meaningful Anomalies’ when analyzing API data as language. Uncover the API functionality using NLP-based AI to model the complex data relations. Detect behavior sequences attempting to manipulate the logic, at any scale. Understand anomalies faster and in the context of the business logic.
