Study Reveals API Security Gaps In Asia-Pacific Compliance Programs
Akamai Technologies, June 26,2025
Application programming interfaces (APIs) play a crucial role across modern applications and services, enabling seamless communication and data sharing among different systems.
Today's widespread reliance on APIs presents significant cybersecurity challenges that have prompted global regulators to respond.
According to Akamai's 2025 API Security Impact Study, nearly 9 in 10 enterprises across China, India, and Australia said they factor API security into their data security regulations compliance. (In Japan, the percentage is slightly lower: nearly 8 in 10.) This is good news because enterprises in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region are increasingly expected to prove they have effective controls for protecting APIs and understanding their risks.
