Overview

Salt Security’s API Protection Platform protects APIs across their full lifecycle – build, deploy and runtime. Salt utilizes cloud-scale big data combined with AI and ML to baseline millions of users and APIs. Salt delivers context-based insights across the entire API lifecycle, detecting and blocking the reconnaissance activity of bad actors.

The Salt Security API Protection Platform is the industry’s only patented solution that leverages cloud-scale big data, with time-tested AI and ML algorithms to provide the insights to prevent API attacks. Salt empowers companies to identify risks and vulnerabilities in APIs before they are exploited by attackers, including those listed in the OWASP API Top 10.

Over the course of 2022, Salt Security has continued to accelerate its growth in developing innovative API security technology. In July 2022, Salt Security was accepted as part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Accelerate Program, validating the proven integration of the Salt Security API Protection Platform with AWS and providing Salt Security with direct access to additional AWS resources to optimize solutions for joint customers.

Most recently, CrowdStrike, a leader in cloud-delivered protection of endpoints, cloud workloads, identity and data, announced its strategic investment in Salt Security via its investment arm, Falcon Fund. The partnership between Salt and CrowdStrike combines the best-in-class technology to provide API discovery, runtime protection to stop breaches and security testing to harden APIs before release.

Overall, Salt Security continues to dominate the API Security market by focusing on its mission of delivering the simplest, most comprehensive, and most effective API security offering.
