Traceable AI Software Release – Fall 2021 Update

by Muzaffer Pasha on September 23, 2021

At Traceable, we’ve been keeping very busy in the last couple of months. During this time, we launched a number of exciting new offerings and key features with the continued aim to help our customers to have the best API Security solution in the industry.

Free API Security

In August, we launched the industry’s first free API Security solution. Traceable’s free API security solution enables developers and security operations teams to get started in improving the API security of their applications without the need for budgetary approval. Despite knowing that API security needs to be a critical component of developing their applications, DevOps teams often remain handicapped by inadequate tools and budgets to properly address their needs. At Traceable, we want to enable developers and security teams to adopt world-class API Security for their application, regardless of budget.

Key highlights:

Free Tier access forever
Up to 50 API Endpoints, API Discovery, Insights, Risks, and a lot more
Free and Team tiers in addition to Enterprise tier
Free 15 day trial of Team tier

Self Serve Experience

Along with the launch of our Free API offering in July, we also launched our self-service offering. Built from our investments in the last couple of quarters on simplifying and automating the agent installation process for developers who install Traceable across their applications. Our customers are now able to self on-board without any assistance in under 10 minutes.

Key Highlights:

Simplified instructions for Traceable Platform Agent (VM’s, K8s) and Tracing Agent (Nginx, K8s, Java) installs
Platform provides updates of installation progress
Users can onboard themselves and others within their teams
Available playground environment, with a rich API data set from a typical application, allows you to experience the full capabilities of the product without instrumenting your application
