The Salt Security API Protection Platform discovers all APIs in an environment, correlates traffic over time, and applies AI/ML analytics to detect reconnaissance and low-and-slow attack patterns that traditional tools miss. It builds a rich inventory including internal, external, shadow, and third-party APIs, then evaluates posture and misconfigurations. At runtime, Salt analyzes user behavior and request sequences to identify business-logic abuse and data exfiltration attempts, blocking malicious activity and feeding detailed context back to developers so they can fix root causes in code and configurations.
