Akamai report finds 87% of organizations hit by API security incidents in 2025 as Layer 7 DDoS attacks rose 104%

Akamai’s 2026 Apps, APIs, and DDoS State of the Internet report said APIs have become the primary attack surface as organizations expand AI adoption. The report said Layer 7 DDoS attacks more than doubled over the past two years, and web application attacks rose 73% between 2023 and 2025. Akamai reported that 87% of surveyed organizations experienced an API-related security incident in 2025. The report said the average number of daily API attacks more than doubled year over year. It also said attackers are increasingly combining API abuse, web application attacks, and Layer 7 DDoS activity into coordinated campaigns.
