Looking for a WAF to Protect All Your APIs

ThreatX gives you instant API protection, for all your APIs, regardless of their status or which gateway they sit behind, no schema required. You’re protected without any separate discovery, integration, instrumenting of your code base, or talks with your dev teams.  

ThreatX discovers API endpoints by scrutinizing real traffic that hits those APIs. This allows ThreatX to protect APIs your dev team didn’t tell you about (rogue APIs), APIs your dev team should have deprecated two releases ago (zombie APIs), and the usually small subset of APIs your dev team has run through your application security testing program (legitimate APIs).  

Ultimately, ThreatX simplifies API security. With our reverse proxy architecture, all API calls flow through the ThreatX WAF Sensor, where they’re analyzed for suspicious behavior, and where traffic is either blocked or cleansed on the way to the endpoint. All the complexity of a modern API architecture is simplified in a way that allows one-stop security configuration. 

Attackers target APIs in a variety of ways, from login and credential stuffing attacks to DDoS attacks and traditional injection attacks. Instead of identifying these attacks using signatures and rules, ThreatX detection uses a combination of application- centric and attacker-centric, behavior-based methodologies.

Relying on signatures to identify threats used to work – but today, such approaches fall short and assume attackers are not as capable and creative as they are. ThreatX examines the behaviors of an attacker – including varying attack vectors and cadence – to more precisely identify and block threats to your APIs. 

This provides a highly automated and accurate way of detecting and mitigating the wide range of attacks that can target APIs, without requiring security teams to maintain complex rulesets, and without false positives blocking critical API functionality. 

ThreatX natively decodes and analyzes API traffic such as JSON and XML in order to identify any threats hidden within. This ensures teams can block injection attacks and other threats and exploits in the same way they do on the web front-end.

ThreatX deploys in seconds to cover any API and removes the need to constantly tune signatures and rules. Our 24×7 SOC is available both as a fully managed service or to complement your existing team and operations.
