It is utilized by application security professionals, DevOps teams, and security operations centers (SOCs).

Key Features

API Sentinel: According to the vendor, this feature helps assess and remediate API risks by identifying coding errors that can result in data loss, fraud, or system compromise. It provides API security posture management and assists in understanding API risk posture pre and post-production.

Detect Sensitive Data Exposure: The vendor states that this feature allows for customizable, ML-based sensitive data assessment rules to detect and remediate sensitive data exposure errors, reducing compliance violations.

Generative AI Powered API Security Testing: The vendor claims that this feature utilizes Generative AI to automatically generate security test cases tailored to unique APIs, businesses, or verticals. It enables comprehensive testing of applications to ensure critical vulnerabilities are addressed before production.

Remediation and Reporting: According to the vendor, this feature integrates continuous inventory and risk data into CI/CD pipelines, enabling AppSec to remediate risks. It also generates summary reports that can be easily understood by senior management.

API Spartan: The vendor states that this feature provides threat protection without the need for JavaScript and SDK integration penalties. It leverages the Cequence AI engine (CQAI) to prevent API attacks passively or natively inline, eliminating the requirement for JavaScript, Mobile SDK, or web application firewall (WAF) integration.

Behavior-based API Protection: According to the vendor, this feature utilizes a large threat database of API attack behaviors to track and block automated attacks with high efficacy rates. It claims to remain effective regardless of how rapidly attackers adapt their techniques.

Stop Online Fraud: The vendor claims that this feature protects customers from fraudulent activity, guarding against unauthorized fund transfers or complex bank fraud campaigns. It offers customizable rules and automated machine learning on tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), facilitating the implementation of fraud use cases.

Address PCI and OWASP Top 10 Compliance Requirements: According to the vendor, this feature helps prevent highly automated exploits that traditional web application firewalls (WAFs) may overlook. It is designed to effectively address PCI and OWASP Top 10 compliance requirements.

API Spyder: According to the vendor, this feature provides visibility into an organization's external and internal APIs, enabling the development of a single inventory of all APIs.

Identify All API Servers: The vendor claims that this feature utilizes intelligent, predictive crawling technology to discover publicly exposed API servers and endpoints without prior knowledge of applications.
