Key takeaways

While security teams have become better at detecting threats, turning those insights into active protections often creates bottlenecks due to syntax complexity, manual effort, and tool-switching.

Our new Custom Rule Builder AI Assistant (within Akamai App & API Protector ) lets security teams generate custom security rules directly from plain text prompts, allowing analysts to focus on intent rather than manual syntax or JSON/XML logic.

By reducing the technical expertise needed to write custom rules, broader security teams can operationalize insights more efficiently, freeing senior experts to handle higher-value tasks.

Generated rules are not automatically deployed to production or staging environments; users review, validate, and edit the AI-generated logic in a familiar interface before activation.
