AppTrana - API Protection Key Features
API Discovery and Documentation
See every API, not just the ones in your gateway.
Discover and maintain a live inventory of all existing, shadow, zombie, and rogue APIs so nothing critical is left unprotected. Automatically generate OpenAPI (Swagger 3.0) specifications so security, developers, and auditors work from the same, accurate view.
Apptrana 4 API Protection
As a user, i find it easy to use managed API security services platform
Industry: Healthcare & Biotech
Risk-Based Security
Focus on the API risks that can actually hurt the business.
Use a risk-based approach that combines dynamic API scanning with embedded manual penetration testing to identify high-impact vulnerabilities first. Cut down false positives and remediate them autonomously.
Not Just A Firewall But A Full Stack For Securing Web Applications And API
Cloud based deployment of 60+ applications working well
Company Size: 50M - 250M USD
Industry: Finance
DDoS and Bot Mitigation
Keep APIs responsive even during DDoS and bot surges.
Rely on behaviour-based anomaly detection to spot and block abusive traffic patterns that target APIs. Legitimate customers and partners stay online while volumetric, credential-stuffing, and scraper traffic is filtered out.
Very Cost Effective Enterprise WAF With Fully Managed Service Included In The Offering
We have received a cost-benefit of 50% without compromising on quality after our move from Akamai · Web application Firewall service has an integration between Risk Detection & Protection, which will help us immediately protect the vulnerabilities in the application and Partner APIs (Public-facing APIs) ·
Company Size: 250M - 500M USD
Industry: Insurance
Accurate Protection
Tighten API security with schema driven positive security.
AppTrana enforces each API’s intended behavior using schema validation (methods, paths, parameters, and data types) as a positive security model, and layers negative security checks on top to stop injection attempts, abuse, and other attacks without generating noisy false positives.
Proactive And Fully Featured API Protection
I bought this because it is incredibly advantageous to our company. Cyberattackers apply different types of command injections to acquire access to our mission-critical resources but the Apptrana firewall is a powerful firewall, unlike other firewall options, which can bear all types of attacks and make sure that no one gets illegal access to our system

24x7 Managed SOC For API Security
Your team sees outcomes, not raw alerts.
Instead of triaging endless logs and events, your teams get clear, contextual updates on what was blocked, what was patched, and what needs code-level fixes. This keeps your APIs resilient while keeping OpEx predictable and freeing your engineers from constant firefighting.
A Very Good And Comprehensive Application Security Solution And Managed Cloud WAF
A solid consolidated offering. We were already using a different CDN service and with the WAF bundled in was very cost-prohibitive. For the WAF component we moved to a bundled service from a cloud provider but without management was not effective.

Other Platforms vs AppTrana API
Typical API Tools
Separate tools, add-ons, and manual effort
AppTrana API
All-in-one, fully managed web & API security
Typical API Security Platforms
- API scanning is a separate tool or periodic pen test, not tightly integrated with protection.
- No clear remediation SLA, so critical API issues stay open for weeks or months.
- Virtual patching for APIs is manual and depends on your internal team.
AppTrana API Security
- API-aware DAST and expert pen testing(add-on) feed directly into API protection policies.
- SwyftComply virtually patches critical, high and medium API vulnerabilities with a 72 hour SLA.
- Clean, zero vulnerability reports cover both web and API surfaces for audits and regulators.
Typical API Security Platforms
- Focus on basic OWASP API Top 10 signatures on a few exposed endpoints.
- Limited detection for business logic abuse, credential stuffing and token misuse.
- Bot and DDoS controls are not tuned specifically for API traffic patterns.
AppTrana API Security
- Comprehensive protection for OWASP API Top 10 and business logic risks on APIs.
- Behaviour and ML driven anomaly detection helps spot abuse patterns in API calls.
- Advanced bot and unmetered L3–L7 DDoS protection extend to APIs without extra modules.
Typical API Security Platforms
- Depend on gateway configs or Swagger files for visibility.
- Shadow, unmanaged and deprecated APIs often remain invisible and unprotected.
- Limited schema validation and weak enforcement of allowed methods and parameters.
AppTrana API Security
- Automatically discovers active, shadow and deprecated APIs across your estate.
- Classifies APIs and automatically builds and updates positive security policies so only approved methods, paths and parameters are allowed.
- No request capping specific to API protection so all legitimate API traffic is covered.
Typical API Security Platforms
- Separate line items for API discovery, API gateway add ons, API scanning and API firewall.
- Pricing often tied tightly to per request or per endpoint counts.
- Internal effort for tuning and operations adds hidden cost on top of licenses.
AppTrana API Security
- API discovery, scanning, protection and managed services are bundled with the AppTrana subscription.
- No separate SKU needed for basic vs advanced API security features.
- Reduced tool sprawl and lower internal operations effort improve overall ROI.
