Salt Security — An Innovative Approach to API Security
Readers of our blog know that our approach to API security is unique, with many customer examples that demonstrate our leadership in this space.
Specifically, Salt Security pioneered the API security market as the only vendor that utilizes patented Machine Learning, AI and Big Data, combined with complete coverage across application environments, to discover all APIs and where they accidentally expose data. The Salt API Security Platform also identifies the early indicators of an attack, stops attackers from advancing, and turns attackers into penetration testers. We also provide automated remediation insights for developers to harden APIs.
API Security has Taken Center Stage
According to Salt Labs Research, API attacks were up 348% in the first half of 2021. With industry sources saying more than 80% of Internet traffic is API traffic, the need to protect the data and services these APIs connect is acute. So much sensitive information is shared through APIs, making them the most attractive target for bad actors looking to take over accounts and steal data. Add in the rapid rate at which APIs are changing, along with and the growing frequency and complexity of API attacks, and organizations have a significant challenge in front of them to protect these critical assets.
The battle has just begun and Salt is solving this huge problem today.
