A Single Platform For Everything app and API Security
Advanced API Security
Provides comprehensive API protection against OWASP API Security Top-10 risks and other advanced API threats – including comprehensive visibility into your API estate, detection and remediation of API vulnerabilities and threats, and protection of sensitive data.
Know your API Portfolio
Monitor your API portfolio for new / changed APIs, drift from spec, or unmanaged (including Shadow and Zombie) APIs – to improve attack surface control and minimize security coverage gaps.
Eliminate API Risk
Identify, track and remediate risky API endpoints, especially those handling sensitive data, based on real-time traffic and OpenAPI specifications – to prioritize API security efforts and minimize compliance & breach risks.
Guard Against API Vulnerabilities
Apply virtual patches to prevent 0-day exploits and leverage real-time mitigations without relying on 3rd party tools – to limit potential damage with a seamless & efficient workflow.
Boost your API Security
Protect against OWASP API Security Top-10 risks, other advanced API threats, and API abuse (such as ATO, bots, L7 DDoS) – to strengthen your security posture and reduce service & security impacts on customer and internal users.
Cloud Native WAAP
Provides next-gen web application & API protection (WAAP) against OWASP Top-10 risks – including unified protection to stop emerging threats and eliminate false positives while extending your existing security stack.
Unified Protection
Provides next-gen WAF and web application protection against OWASP Top-10 risks and emerging threats.
Stop Emerging Threats
Defend against malicious bots, L7 DDoS, ATOs, 0-day exploits and other growing risks – to get full spectrum protection for web applications.
Eliminate False Positives
Scale protection automatically using grammar-based attack detection without relying on manual rules (RegEx) – to reduce workload and improve efficiencies.
Extend Existing Security Stack
Leverage your existing DevOps and security tools with native integrations, webhooks or APIs – to reduce learning curve and time-to-value while extending protections.
