Why APIsec?

API security requires a proactive approach.
‍
APIsec automated API security testing finds known vulnerabilities and business logic flaws in your APIs so you can fix them before they are live in production.



Automated

APIsec generates and executes custom attack scenarios based on the unique architecture and function of each API.



Comprehensive

APIsec tests every endpoint, every call, every input parameter, and every method to ensure full security coverage.



Continuous

APIsec runs a full suite of penetration testing in minutes, allowing you to security test every API before production.

API SECURITY Challenges

The Challenge of Comprehensive Coverage

Challenge 1

APIs are too Complex for Comprehensive Manual Testing

APIs are highly complex systems with myriad functions, all interoperating to deliver business objectives.

API security testing must cover the entire surface area of APIs, exercising every possible application feature against all potential API threats.

Challenge 2

Manual Pen Testing Requires Too Many Resources

APIs are typically comprised of dozens or hundreds of separate endpoints, each supporting multiple methods. Then add the myriad API threat vectors.

Comprehensive testing can easily require thousands of unique attack playbooks, and dev teams are already overloaded with building valuable features and patching existing flaws.

challenge 3

Traditional API Security Testing Methods Hurt Innovation

APIs change weekly or even daily as developers release new features, fix bugs, and update logic.

Security assessments can't get in the way and delay product releases - testing needs to operate at the speed of DevOps, but manual testing simply can't keep up.

The Building Blocks of APIsec

APIsec is made of three modules working together to deeply analyze every corner of your API:

‍API Analyzer: This module dissects your API down to every endpoint, call, and input parameter so that the engine knows how best to attack it.
‍
‍API Attacker: API Attacker is an attack generator that applies hundreds of different scenarios and maps them onto your API to create custom-tailored attacks based on your unique API architecture.
‍
‍API Scanner: The engine that searches for anything unexpected in the test generated by API Attacker and generates a report.
