API Security

Protect APIs from exploitation

The increasing prevalence of APIs in development, coupled with the use of AI coding tools has increased the need for robust API security to protect applications from exploitation.

Proactively secure API assets

Gain total API visibility

API Security doesn’t just protect your known APIs – it uncovers and inventories all APIs within your application, including those hidden ‘shadow APIs’ that can pose significant security risks.

Manage API risks in real time

Get real-time, always-on insights into API vulnerabilities that proactively aid organizations in protecting sensitive information against exploitation.

Analyze API endpoints

Invicti API Security provides comprehensive coverage for the three primary API types—REST, SOAP, and GraphQL—with built-in security checks and the capability to import and discover your API definitions.

“One of our most indicative KPIs is the amount of time for us to remediate vulnerabilities and also the amount of time developers spend fixing vulnerabilities in our code base, which has reduced significantly. We’re talking about at least 80% reduction in time.”

Fast, secure, compliant

“When the product you sell is an application you develop, your teams need to be fast, secure and compliant. These three factors often work in opposite directions. Mend provides the opportunity to align these often competing factors, providing Vonage with an advantage in a very competitive marketplace.”

Rapid results

“The biggest value we get out of Mend is the fast feedback loop, which enables our developers to respond rapidly to any vulnerability or license issues. When a vulnerability or a license is disregarded or blocked, and there is a policy violation, they get the feedback directly.”
