API Security AdvisorDEVSECOPS & APP SECURITY

APIs are the connective tissue of modern applications — and the #1 growing attack vector. 94% of organizations experienced an API security incident in the past year. Broken authentication, excessive data exposure, and injection attacks on APIs bypass traditional WAFs and firewalls. API security requires purpose-built protection.

API Security platforms provide continuous API discovery (finding shadow and zombie APIs), runtime protection against OWASP API Top 10 threats, sensitive data exposure detection, authentication/authorization validation, rate limiting, and bot mitigation — all without changing application code.

Inline (proxy/gateway mode) or out-of-band (traffic mirroring). Deploy in front of API gateways (Kong, Apigee, AWS API Gateway). ML-based baselining of normal API behavior to detect anomalies. Integrates with CI/CD for shift-left API testing. Pricing: ₹1,500–₹5,000/API endpoint/year.
