Why Prospects Choose ThreatX Over Salt Security
Protect APIs AND Applications
Protect more of your infrastructure from real-time attacks without managing multiple tools
Everything is increasingly complex.
From the infrastructure you’re defending to the attacks against it – security professionals need solutions that simplify.
With ThreatX, you can get deep threat protection for all your APIs and applications from a single platform. Not only can you protect both APIs and apps, but you can also discover, detect, track, and block with one powerful but simple platform.


Native, Real-Time Blocking
Block attacks in real time without integrating with a WAF or API gateway
Get the ability to discover, detect, track, and block attackers all with a single solution.
There’s nothing more frustrating than the challenge of bolting solutions together only for latency or misconfiguration to miss real attacks. That’s why it was so important to architect a solution that could quickly protect, out-of-the-box against a wide range of threats.
Furthermore, with ThreatX’s risk-based approach to blocking, false positives and alert fatigue will become problems of the past.

Bot Console & Analytics
Monitor all bot & botnet activity, at scale – without wading through complex dashboards
Stay ahead of advancing bots and botnets with real-time visibility and protection that evolves with changes in behavior. ThreatX’s botnet console & analytics provide an overview of all detected bot activity within one dashboard, allowing security teams to quickly identify the largest and most risky botnets generating malicious automated traffic. Track changes in attack behavior by drilling into analytics for specific botnets, and identify which bots are generating the most noise or growing in intensity.


Consolidated Protection From the Edge to Runtime
Secure APIs and apps from bots, runtime threats, and sophisticated attacks within one easy-to-use platform
Unlike other solutions, ThreatX is a fully integrated API and application protection platform blocking a broad range of threats including botnets, DDoS attacks, multi-vector attacks, zero days, east/west threats, and more.
ThreatX Edge protection enables your team to automatically to discover your APIs; detect and track threats; and block attacks in real-time – or alert security, if that’s your preference.
However, threats to APIs and apps extend well beyond the edge. That’s why ThreatX Runtime protection provides coverage for zero day vulnerabilities, rootkits, east-west traffic, and other OS-level exploits.
