Here’s Why You Need API Security
- Lack of comprehensive API visibility, leading to security blind spots.
- Shadow and zombie APIs expose organizations to hidden attack surfaces.
- Weak API access controls undermine Zero Trust principles and AI/ML security.
AI-enhanced attacks top the list of the biggest percieved threats to API security today, followed by unauthorized access/breaches and insufficient data protection/encryption
74%
are very concerned about AI-enhanced attacks
92%
are taking measures to counter AI-enhanced attacks

API Discovery, Monitoring & Security -The Zero Trust Way
Runtime API Security
- Uses service mesh sidecars or proxies to inspect secure traffic and detect anomalies.
- Exports API instrumentation data in OpenTelemetry format for seamless monitoring.
- Identifies access patterns with a discovery engine and provides a SaaS or on-prem control plane for management.
Static API Security
- Scans code repositories and analyzes API specs (OpenAPI, Swagger, WSDL) for security gaps.
- Extracts endpoint details, peer connections, and access requirements for better enforcement.
- Integrates into CI/CD pipelines to detect and mitigate risks before deployment.

Enterprise Grade API Security Use Cases
API Discovery & Traffic Analysis
- Discover service-to-service communication, shadow/zombie APIs, and internal/external API access using platform abstractions (e.g., Kubernetes).
- Capture and inspect traffic metadata for empirical analysis and compliance.
API Performance & Monitoring
- Track API access metrics (latency, success rate) and protect against OWASP Web & API attacks using traffic signatures.
DoS Attack & TLS Security
- Detect and mitigate DoS attacks early with eBPF XDP.
- Identify TLS/certificate misconfigurations and manage secure connections with tools like “k8tls.”
Authentication & Sensitive Data Protection
- Identify brute force authentication attempts and detect sensitive data exposure in API responses.
Fault Injection & Deployment Support
- Perform chaos testing and fault injection.
- Support Kubernetes and non-Kubernetes deployments with compatibility for Nginx, Istio, Mule, and Kong ingress controllers/gateways.
