API security platform using AI and behavioral ML to discover shadow APIs, prevent attacks, and identify vulnerabilities across the full API lifecycle. Serves Fortune 500 enterprises protecting complex multi-cloud API environments.
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.
Armonk NY hybrid cloud and enterprise AI (NYSE: IBM) at $62.8B revenue; $6B+ generative AI bookings, record $12.7B free cash flow 2024, DataStax acquisition for watsonx vector database competing with Microsoft Azure for enterprise AI.
International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) is an Armonk, New York-based global technology and consulting company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IBM) as an S&P 500 component — providing hybrid cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence software, and enterprise IT consulting through approximately 270,300 employees in 170 countries with $62.8 billion in annual revenue. Founded on June 16, 1911, as Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company through a merger orchestrated by financier Charles Ranlett Flint, renamed IBM in 1924 under Thomas Watson Sr., IBM has undergone multiple strategic transformations over its 110+ year history: building the System/360 mainframe platform (1964), launching the IBM PC (1981), selling the PC division to Lenovo (2005, $1.75B), and completing the $34 billion Red Hat acquisition (2019) that repositioned IBM as a hybrid cloud platform company. CEO Arvind Krishna (appointed April 2020) has focused IBM's strategy on three areas: hybrid cloud (powered by Red Hat OpenShift, the enterprise Kubernetes platform), AI (the watsonx platform for enterprise AI model development and deployment), and enterprise consulting. Under Krishna, IBM recorded $12.7 billion in free cash flow in 2024 (a company record), surpassed $6 billion in generative AI bookings since June 2023, and saw the stock price double — trading at all-time highs through 2024-2025. IBM announced the DataStax acquisition in 2025 to deepen watsonx's data layer with AstraDB (vector database for AI applications), DataStax Enterprise (Apache Cassandra), and Langflow (low-code AI agent development).
