Manufacturer Defends Against API Attacks with Wallarm API Security
Static code analysis can't catch everything, and this manufacturer learned that the hard way after an API breach. Their existing Imperva setup offered no meaningful API security, and the add-on they evaluated wasn't good enough. This case study covers how they rebuilt their API security posture from the ground up with Wallarm, closing the gaps their previous tools couldn't see.
The world's most demanding teams run on Wallarm.

Challenges
Before implementing Wallarm, the organization grappled with several API security challenges:
Insufficient Security Measures
Relying on Imperva with no API security capabilities left critical gaps in their defenses. Previous evaluations of the available API Security add-on from Imperva were unsatisfactory, and existing static code analysis processes proved inadequate, missing key vulnerabilities.
Security Incident Exposure
An API security breach underscored their vulnerability and highlighted the need for a more robust, proactive approach to API protection.
Developer-Driven Risks
As developers created APIs, the reliance on static analysis tools alone was insufficient to detect all potential threats, leaving the organization exposed to missed vulnerabilities.
These challenges not only put the organization at risk but also disrupted operations and prompted a reevaluation of their API security strategy.
