Unlock Total API Visibility and Control, Cost-Effectively

In the current economic environment, IT and security leaders face significant challenges. Budget optimization and prioritizing initiatives that provide real business value are crucial, particularly amidst a growingly complex and threatening threat landscape. This pressure is especially pronounced when it comes to securing the APIs essential for modern applications and linking vital data.

APIs serve as the foundation of digital innovation, yet their swift expansion results in an extensive attack surface. Development teams often operate rapidly, occasionally sidestepping standard security evaluations, leading to undocumented shadow APIs and outdated zombie APIs hiding within your environment. The task of manually identifying these APIs, ensuring compliance, and defending against sophisticated attacks can seem daunting, especially with limited resources. How can you improve security and manage costs simultaneously?

Bridging the Gap: Security and Efficiency Can Coexist

What if compromise was unnecessary? Imagine having complete visibility into your entire API ecosystem, proactively tackling threats, and streamlining security operations without increasing operational expenses.

That’s where Salt Security steps in. We recognize your challenges, and our platform is crafted to assist security and development teams in maximizing efficiency while achieving solid API security without incurring additional operational costs.

How Salt Security Empowers Your Teams:

• See Everything instantly: Eliminate the struggles of manual discovery. Salt offers Complete API Visibility, automatically identifying all your APIs, including those hidden shadow and zombie versions. Understand your entire attack surface thoroughly.
• Automate Compliance: Maintain continuous compliance with automated posture rules and real-time monitoring. Focus less on manual audits and more on strategic priorities.
• Stop Threats Sooner, Respond Faster: Why delay in the event of an attack? Salt enables preemptive threat prevention by recognizing and assisting in blocking vulnerabilities before they go into production. If an incident happens, quick detection significantly shortens MTTD/MTTR (Mean Time To Detect/Respond), reducing impact and conserving valuable security resources.
• Streamline Your DevSecOps Workflow: Salt integrates seamlessly with your development practices. Automate the generation of API documentation (Swagger/OpenAPI), detect vulnerabilities early through CI/CD pipeline integration, enforce policies automatically to prevent risky deployments, and automate security triage for quicker issue resolution. Less friction leads to more productivity.
