Welcome to the Akamai Platform Update!
We're presenting an entire week of learning about Akamai's recent product updates. Each day, we'll highlight our latest innovations in each area of the Akamai Intelligent Platform.
With Akamai's web security portfolio, the top focus this October is on the web application firewall (WAF), with exciting new capabilities: API Discovery and Adaptive Security Profiles.
APIs have become a dominant mechanism in the modern web, allowing organizations to create powerful web and mobile experiences, while exposing back-end data and logic to create new and innovative offerings.
Eleven months ago, I joined Akamai as a result of the acquisition of a company I was partner of. The former company was small compared to Akamai, but had operations in several countries in the region, from Argentina to Mexico. In this company, we had been working with Akamai for 17 years, but on November 1, 2019, we officially became a part of the family.
