Overview
Graylog elevates cybersecurity and IT operations through its comprehensive SIEM, Centralized Log Management, and API Security solutions. Graylog provides an edge for Threat Detection & Incident Response across diverse attack surfaces. The company’s unique blend of AI/ML, advanced analytics, and intuitive design makes cybersecurity smarter, not harder. Unlike competitors’ complex, costly setups, Graylog offers power and affordability, simplifying the IT and security challenges. Founded in 2009 in Hamburg, Germany, and now headquartered in Houston, Texas, Graylog solutions are deployed in over 50,000 installations across 180 countries.
Graylog recently added API Security Illuminate content pack into its offering to highlight the need to incorporate API security into the heart of most organizations’ security – the SIEM. API Security has struggled to find ownership within security organizations since APIs are an artifact of the business pressures to improve information flow to customers and supply chain partners in a rapidly 100% digital world. As Forrester highlighted in their report, The Eight Components of API Security, “APIs are the cornerstone of modern apps and the gatekeepers to critical business logic. Attackers are taking advantage of the burgeoning risk surface being propelled by an ever-expanding digital landscape.”
API security was a natural progression, given Graylog’s focus on threat detection and response. The increasing prevalence of attacks targeting APIs, coupled with inadequate security measures. Our vision involves incorporating API security into our broader SOC workflow, enriching threat detection and response capabilities. As Forrester highlighted, “While there is no easy button or blueprint for API security, it is clear that AppSec and AppDev teams need to join forces in order to implement a holistic API security program that mitigates risk and manages complexity.” Graylog’s vision is a single platform with windows of visibility across teams to increase API Security.
Key Capabilities / Features
With Graylog API Security, practitioners gain:
API Discovery: Automatically discover and categorize APIs for focused monitoring
Risk Scoring: Prioritize alerts based on their relative risk to the organization
Full-fidelity Capture: Capture the complete API request and response payload, creating a readily accessible datastore for both real-time attack detection and forensic search to identify common threats and API failures swiftly and accurately
Real-Time Threat Intelligence: Stay ahead of emerging threats with continuous monitoring of APIs and out-of-the-box threat signatures
Guided Remediation: Once a threat is detected, Graylog API Security automatically provides helpful, straightforward remediation information
Graylog API Security is a cloud-native architecture available for self-managed private cloud or on-prem implementations to eliminate concerns over sending PII to a third-party vendor. The free edition includes all the features of the paid version but is limited to 16GB of local rolling storage on a single node with a one-year renewable license.
How we are different
• Business-centric API Security: Graylog API Security is an inside-the-perimeter solution, meaning we can protect against zero-day attacks targeting production environments. WAFs and other perimeter-based API Security tools rely on known patterns and signatures to detect attacks. But in the world of APIs, the unknown lurks around every corner in the form of zero-day exploits, new vulnerabilities, and API abuse, which often slips past WAF and typical perimeter-based defenses unnoticed. Graylog brings API security to the forefront, reflecting the high utilization of APIs across business functions, from just App Security to securing business operations.
• Full-fidelity Capture: Graylog automatically discovers and categorizes APIs for focused monitoring of the highest risk. Graylog captures the complete API request and response payloads, creating a readily accessible datastore for real-time attack detection and forensic search to swiftly and accurately identify common threats and API failures swiftly and accurately. Having full access to API data is essential for identifying unknown attacks, especially since hackers are getting smarter at evading detection via traditional methods. Due to the sensitive nature of this approach, Graylog API Security is a cloud-native solution operated by the customer inside their network (on-premises or private cloud).
• Accelerating Detection and Response: Graylog has experience in delivering simplified workflows to practitioners to drive efficiency in security operations. With real-time Threat Intelligence, enterprises can stay ahead of emerging threats by continuously monitoring APIs and out-of-the-box threat signatures aligned with OWASP and MITRE guidance. Risk Scoring facilitates simplification and the prioritization of alerts based on their relative risk to the organization. Moreover, Graylog provides guided remediation. Graylog API Security automatically provides helpful, straightforward remediation information as soon as a threat is detected.
