API Discovery & API Security

API Discovery & API Security

API Security combines deep discovery and contextual security to protect your APIs across cloud, edge, on-prem, and hybrid environments. Whether it’s known, unknown, external, or internal — we uncover it, assess risk, and lock it down.

API Discovery

Discover APIs across all clouds, gateways, proxies, and ingress points
Classify APIs based on sensitivity, business impact, and exposure risk
Track usage patterns, endpoint inventory, and undocumented APIs
Continuously scan for newly deployed, rogue, or deprecated APIs

API Security

Protect APIs from injection, token misuse, and protocol abuse
Use runtime defense to block OWASP Top 10 API threats
Apply behavior-based anomaly detection to detect bot activity
Automatically enforce rate limits, authentication, and access controls

Total Visibility & Protection for Every API

API Security combines deep discovery and contextual security to protect your APIs across cloud, edge, on-prem, and hybrid environments. Whether it’s known, unknown, external, or internal — we uncover it, assess risk, and lock it down.

Built for Developers, Security, and Ops

Developers

Discover what APIs you’re actually exposing. Track new endpoints. Get actionable risk insights—without changing your code.

Security Teams

Detect unknown APIs, eliminate attack surfaces, enforce authentication, and respond to threats in real-time.

Platform Engineers

Secure every API gateway and microservice using policies that integrate natively into your infrastructure and CI/CD pipeline.

Common Use Cases

Rogue API Detection

Find APIs that were spun up outside standard DevOps workflows — often undocumented and unprotected.

Shadow API Mapping

​Detect APIs that are running but not managed or monitored — a top target for attackers.​

Legacy API Risk Assessment

Uncover old APIs still in production or test environments with outdated authentication or no governance.

Sensitive Data Protection

Classify APIs that expose PII, payment info, or internal data — and alert when accessed by unauthorized actors.

Bot Defense & Abuse Prevention

Prevent scraping, replay attacks, and credential stuffing across public APIs with real-time protection.

API Governance & Compliance

Maintain full inventory, audit trails, and policy enforcement for compliance with PCI, HIPAA, and GDPR.

How It Works

Discover

Scan traffic, code, gateways, and ingress to build an automatic API inventory. Classify endpoints, versions, and risk posture.

Secure

Enforce runtime protections using signatures, behavioral models, and traffic intelligence. No agent or code changes required.

Govern

​Tag sensitive data, map usage patterns, track changes, and maintain compliance across cloud-native and legacy stacks.
