Purpose-built for organisations running Akamai API Security.

Your APIs are essential to your business but without full visibility and control, they can also become your biggest risk.

RiverSafe’s managed service transforms Akamai API Security into a business outcome: turning platform alerts into decisive action, and visibility into real
control.

We cover all four of Akamai’s API Security Pillars, real-time API discovery, posture management to prevent misconfigurations and data exposure, runtime protection against anomalies and abuse, and shift-left security testing in CI/CD.

This allows us to monitor, secure, and govern your APIs end-to-end ensuring you can avoid the cost and complexity of building this capability in-house.
