Enhanced API Security and Visibility with Wallarm

A major humanitarian organization sought to enhance security and visibility across its expanding API ecosystem. Facing challenges in identifying exposed endpoints and securing cloud-based applications, the company evaluated multiple vendors before selecting Wallarm. The implementation provided immediate visibility, proactive protection, and peace of mind against emerging threats.

Challenges

This organization experienced a fairly typical set of API security challenges, but were unique in their need for a solution that could integrate with multiple environments, including integration with Kong and Mulesoft API gateways. Before selecting a solution, the organization struggled with:

Lack of API Visibility

Security teams had no insight into endpoint inventory, risk, or attacks.

Expanding Attack Surface

Deploying in AWS and Salesforce without a clear security framework.

Industry-Specific Threats

Ransomware attacks on similar businesses increased urgency for a solution.

Before turning to Wallarm, the organization had evaluated multiple vendors claiming to provide API protection, but found that none of them could do so within the infrastructure required. None of the tested solutions were deployable in Mulesoft, a core component of their infrastructure, forcing the organization to go back to the market.
