Snyk Supercharges API Discovery with New Akamai Integration
Blog post from Snyk
Snyk has enhanced its API discovery capabilities by partnering with Akamai to address the challenge of providing API schemas for DAST scanning, transforming a traditionally manual process into an automated workflow within the Snyk platform. This integration allows Snyk to directly ingest comprehensive API inventories and corresponding schemas discovered by Akamai, thereby streamlining API security testing and significantly increasing scan coverage for enterprise customers. By leveraging Akamai's advanced discovery methods, such as traffic analysis and schema inference, Snyk can offer unmatched visibility into entire API portfolios, enabling teams to easily test and protect APIs that were previously difficult to configure. This collaboration not only enhances Snyk's developer-friendly DAST engine but also allows Akamai customers to proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities earlier in the development lifecycle. The partnership, officially launched at Black Hat 2025, empowers security and development teams with a flexible, integrated approach to reduce risk and accelerate innovation, combining Akamai's deep API security intelligence with Snyk's developer-centric platform.
