BlazeMeter API Testing Improves Akana’s API Security, Governance and Oversight Capabilities
With the addition of BlazeMeter to the Perforce portfolio, Akana solidifies governance, oversight, and API security capabilities. In a world where APIs are the leading security threat vector, an organization’s API testing and monitoring capabilities are how they keep customer and company data secure. BlazeMeter by Perforce offers an integrated approach to API testing which easily ties into an organization’s CI/CD pipelines. This allows organizations to accomplish performance API testing and operational API testing alongside other important development pipelines. Additionally, BlazeMeter integrates with open-source and third-party tools such as Jenkins, PagerDuty, and Slack. This means team members can get instant notifications when API issues arise and put a stop to API threats or performance issues before they affect customers.
