About

Salt Security is an API security platform that applies machine learning to API traffic analysis to address the three core challenges of enterprise API security: discovering the complete API attack surface including shadow and zombie APIs, identifying and blocking sophisticated API attacks in real time, and finding API vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. The platform ingests API traffic at scale through integration with existing API gateways, load balancers, and network taps, building an always-current inventory of every API in the environment and learning the behavioral patterns of legitimate API usage. This behavioral baseline enables Salt's detection engine to identify attacks that deviate from normal patterns — including credential stuffing, broken object level authorization abuse, excessive data exposure, and multi-step account takeover flows — that conventional signature-based defenses cannot catch because they match legitimate request formats.
