Get the full picture of your API landscape – understand what exists, gain confidence that things are working as expected, and make targeted API abuse mitigation decisions across the Fastly platform.
Drawing from trillions of requests across our global customer base, Fastly has a real-time view into trends that impact security teams.
Increasing pace of development
Organizations have lots of moving parts, and platform teams need to manage constant new and changing functions. When the pace never slows down, it’s hard to keep track of the chaos.
More APIs to secure
With an average of 145 applications to secure, there are never enough hours in the day to fully understand the hundreds or thousands of related APIs before something inevitably breaks.
More unknowns and third parties
No company operates alone – and the challenges of integrating, monitoring, managing, deprecating, and securing APIs from external dependencies adds complexity to already overburdened teams.
Increased use of AI
Artificial intelligence is here to stay, and the explosion of AI platforms (and their APIs) has led to an unprecedented increase in API requests, management challenges, and security gaps.
Gaps in automation and transparency
API management is often opaque with manual processes and limited resources. Without adequate automation and transparency, it’s difficult for platform and security teams to get the context and confidence they need to collaborate.
Consolidation
90% of security decision-makers report that the current economic and political climate has impacted their security budget and buying decisions. It’s more important than ever to save money, time, and energy while maintaining platforms.
API security shouldn’t be a burden
Everything gets done with teamwork, but your teams that build and secure applications have different needs and goals. Fastly API Security helps break down the barriers between them with shared data sets and tools to bring you the right context at the right time for collaborative decision making.
Automatically detect new, updated, and unintentional API calls within Fastly's Edge network.
Streamline communication and delivery
With security that protects everywhere, you’ll bring transparency and security into your entire API lifecycle, and keep your platform and security teams in sync – with no surprises.
Build context for resilience
Identify problems early in the API lifecycle, and adjust before they break things and cause pain for your customers and internal teams. Align your API strategy with business goals, and prevent API misuse that leads to security breaches.
