Gain Control Over Your Complete API Landscape with API Discovery

By identifying and analyzing all of your APIs, including Shadow APIs, Rogue APIs, Zombie APIs, and deprecated endpoints, you can improve control of your attack surface and reduce the risks of breaches.

API Discovery
Differentiating the various assets in your cloud, such as API endpoint, type, public facing vs. internal or new vs. old, enables you to tailor your security program to meet critical needs and optimize your security efforts.
Monitor API Changes
You can stay alert to new APIs or changes to existing APIs, allowing you to minimize API drift, prioritize reviews and avoid security and compliance gaps.
Protect Your Sensitive Data
It is essential to monitor sensitive data usage, such as PII, financial and healthcare data, and login credentials, to comply with relevant regulations and standards and minimize the risks of improper exposure.
