An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief
Salt Security‘s API security platform discovers APIs, use ML/AI to identify potential threats, and protects against cyber attacks.
The Salt platform scans the network to discover an organization’s APIs, catalogs the APIs, analyzes network scan data for potential attacks, and stops potential attackers as soon as possible. The Salt platform defines and enforces security policies for the organization’s APIs.
Salt designed their AI based discovery capabilities to keep pace with the rapid increase in API development and use. Gen AI exacerbates the issues with API security because it helps developers produce more code and more APIs more quickly.
Salt maintains a comprehensive data store of API vulnerabilities and analyzes an organization’s network traffic against that data to identify risks, threats, and vulnerabilities, checking for anomalies.
Salt built their own AI/LLM capability and knowledge base. The data they collect and analyze excludes sensitive data.
