Akamai

Integrating Akamai with Escape's ASM enhances API ecosystem management by incorporating your Akamai configuration.

Discovered Resources

The Akamai integration automatically discovers and inventories the following resources from your Akamai account:

  • Akamai Hosts: Domain names and hostnames configured in your Akamai properties
  • Akamai Services: API services and schema definitions exposed through Akamai's API Gateway

These discovered resources are automatically classified as Assets (APIs, DNS records, WebApps) in Escape's ASM, enabling continuous security monitoring and testing.

Generate an Akamai API Key

To create your API key:

  1. From the side menu, go to Identity & Access under Account Admin.
  2. Create a new API Client by clicking on Create API Client button.
  3. Select the appropriate API client type that best suits your use case (select Advanced to define specific API permissions).
  4. Under APIs, choose Select APIs, and enable API Definition (used for API & schema discovery) and DNS-Zone Record Management (used for DNS discovery) with READ-ONLY access level (select Change API Restrictions to update permissions).
  5. Once created, you will be redirected to the API Client details page. Copy the client_secret, host, access_token & client_token to use in Escape ASM.
