Wallarm vs Salt Security Vs Noname Security vs Traceable

Wallarm is the only platform that unifies best-in-class API Security and WAAP (Next-gen WAF) solutions to protect your whole API and application portfolio in multi-cloud and cloud-native environment.

API Security Solution Comparison Guide

Protecting APIs and web applications is crucial for modern organizations. To do so, you need complete visibility into your entire portfolio with the ability to detect & respond to a new breed of threats – without adding complexity to your security stack or workflows.

Aim for a Solution That Shields Every Application and API

  • Wallarm provides protection for both exposed and internal applications
  • Wallarm is the only solution that provide protection for the whole application portfolio including APIs, applications, microservices

Pick a Solution Ready for Any Tech Stack and Load Scenario, with zero Latency

  • Wallarm is the only platform that supports both out-of-band deployment and superb inline deployment (near-zero latency)
  • Most API Security vendors work only in cloud environments with a copy of the traffic.
  • Wallarm provides fast deployment anywhere: cloud-native / K8s, multi-cloud, edge, or on-prem. Integrates with the DevOps/IaaC tech stack

Don't Risk Gaps: Find a Solution That Covers All Protocols and Attacks

  • Wallarm provides real-time detection + mitigation for both apps and APIs (full protocol support)
  • API security vendors provide detection only and require 3rd party (WAF or API Gateway) to provide limited mitigation
  • WAAP vendors provide basic protection for APIs (no OWASP API Security Top-10)

Opt for Real-time response. There would be no time for delayed remediation

  • Wallarm stands out in the landscape of API security for its ability to both detect and mitigate advanced threats as they happen.
  • Wallarm's system doesn't just monitor traffic and flag irregularities; it actively blocks threats the moment they're detected. This is in contrast to many API security tools that operate primarily in a monitoring capacity, which can only alert you to threats rather than stopping them in their tracks.

Get control over managed and unmanaged APIs with robust posture management

  • Wallarm and pure API Security vendors provide rich API discovery capabilities
  • Only some of the WAAP vendors have limited API Discovery and Risk Scoring capabilities

Reduce risks by active testing pre-prod and in prod

  • Wallarm API testing capabilities both in production (Active Threat Verification) and in testing (FAST)
  • Some of the API Security vendors have started to introduce Security Testing capabilities
