“Automated API Discovery Uncovers Security Gaps and Enhances Developer Guidance”
Salt Security provides excellent visibility into our APIs and quickly exposed Posture gaps as were aware off. Its automated discovery of Shadow and Legacy APIs along with context laden attack detection has significantly improved our security posture. The platform's insights are also valuable for guiding developers on hardening APIs. On the downside, there is a noticeable learning curve, and alert tuning to reduce noise takes some initial effort. But once properly configured, Salt delivers strong values as a core component of our API Security Strategy.
