Salt Security

What is Salt Security?

Salt Security provides a complete API Protection Platform designed to secure APIs throughout their entire lifecycle. By leveraging cloud-scale big data and advanced machine learning, it automatically discovers all APIs-including shadow and zombie APIs-exposes sensitive data, and proactively detects and blocks sophisticated API attacks early, often during the reconnaissance phase. The platform also offers API posture governance to help organizations minimize risk and comply with industry standards. Salt Security integrates seamlessly with existing API gateways, development platforms, and cloud environments, delivering real-time insights and reducing incident response times without impacting application performance.

Key Features

• Comprehensive API Discovery

  Automatically identifies all APIs across the environment, including shadow and zombie APIs, and catalogs exposed sensitive data to support compliance requirements.

• Early Threat Detection and Prevention

  Uses patented analytics to detect malicious API activity during reconnaissance and blocks attackers before they can cause harm.

• API Posture Governance

  Enables organizations to define and enforce corporate API security standards and assess compliance with best practices and regulations.

• Behavioral Threat Response

  Correlates API user activities to accurately identify malicious intent, reduce false positives, and prioritize security alerts for faster incident response.

• Seamless Integration and Deployment

  Deploys quickly without inline performance impact and integrates with existing API gateways, cloud platforms, and security tools.

Use Cases

• API Security Monitoring : Continuously monitors API traffic to detect anomalies and prevent data breaches caused by API attacks.
• Compliance and Risk Management : Helps organizations identify exposed sensitive data and maintain compliance with regulations such as GDPR, PCI-DSS, and CCPA.
• DevSecOps Integration : Provides actionable insights and remediation guidance to development teams for securing APIs during the development lifecycle.
• Incident Response Acceleration : Delivers comprehensive attack timelines and consolidated alerts to reduce mean time to detect and respond to API threats.
• API Inventory Management : Maintains an up-to-date inventory of all APIs, facilitating governance and security posture assessments at scale.
