    If you are going with SAST process or want to improve overall security posture then go for it like integrating it with post deployment steps. If you are more concerned about proactive controls better choose other options such as pee-commit hooks and CI security. Also choose other tools for DAST and API scans.

    I believe it covers everything related to the applications' security aspects, but there are a lot of improvements that need to be made. For example, better granular controls like bot categories listed on the distributed console and a granular URL-based control for the rate-limiting option are needed.

    • It auto-discovers APIs, even the ones engineers forget to document. Then profiles them without needing changes to our codebase.
    • Shadow API exposure.
    • It's pretty decent at abnormal behavior detection.

    • More accurate detection of advanced persistent threats (APTs) targeting APIs.
    • A greater emphasis on checking APIs' schema and contract may prevent them from accepting misconfigurations or malicious input.
    • More customized, dynamic, and targeted protection for high-value APIs or high-risk user groups.

    Usability
    Checkmarx
    Their API based customizations which I leveraged to create an ASPM package, which is developer friendly and can extend above the dashboard features, other ones are UI which is great and feels clutter free. Menu and navigation is also good so as support. Only drawback is sometimes scan takes longer which I feel so can be reduced

    Great product. Working with F5 for many years, we found the products F5 provided are all cutting edge technology. Although in F5 Distributed Cloud API Security we still have a lot to find out, but we believe this experience will be very good. Especially on the security side. Trust in F5.

    Checkmarx is easier to integrate with development tools and gives quick feedback during coding, which is helpful for developers. Veracode is more focused on scanning and reporting for compliance, but it’s more complex to set up. We chose Checkmarx because it fits better into our development process, offering faster scans and more useful suggestions for fixing problems

    We ran a short POC with Salt. Its data classification and attack replay features were impressive. What held us back was the limited support for hybrid deployments and poor integration into our CI/CD pipelines, as F5 did.

    Centralized policy management: You can manage API security policies consistently across locations without duplicating effort, which supports scaling.


    API discovery and monitoring at scale: It automatically discovers APIs and monitors them in real time across large and complex environments.
