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.

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) ·

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

Risk-based protection for APIs

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.

Security effectiveness (API runtime defense)

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.

API visibility and control

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.

Cost and ROI for API security

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.
