AppTrana Asset, AI and API Discovery
Discover every blind spot. Protect what matters.
Attackers now use AI to scan, map, and probe internet-facing apps, APIs, services, and AI infrastructure faster than manual recon ever could. AppTrana maps that same surface continuously and routes it into protection workflows.
One capability in the AppTrana WAAP platform, which also covers WAF, API security, AI workload protection, and autonomous vulnerability remediation.

Discovery to Protection Workflow
Map every exposed surface. Move it into protection.
Newly discovered web assets, APIs, services, and AI endpoints move into AppTrana protection workflows from one platform.
1
Discover
Map public domains, subdomains, IPs, APIs, services, and exposed AI infrastructure.
2
Classify
Separate protected assets, new exposure, shadow APIs, public services, and AI endpoints.
3
Validate
Confirm reachable exposure and identify assets that need scanning, review, or protection.
4
Onboard
Move priority assets into AppTrana scanning and WAAP protection from the same platform.
5
Report
Keep audit inventory current with exposure, protection status, and onboarding progress.
One inventory. Multiple protection paths.
Discovery feeds the same AppTrana platform used for scanning, WAAP policy, API security, bot defense, DDoS protection, and AI Shield.
Route assets to the right workflow
Security teams can act on what changed instead of manually reconciling inventory across tools.

Asset Discovery Use Cases
See what slipped through. Secure what matters next.
AppTrana Asset Discovery helps security teams find what has drifted outside protection, then route it into the right protection workflow.
Forgotten Assets
Find public apps teams stopped tracking
Surface old subdomains, staging hosts, admin portals, and public services that still resolve externally but are not covered by current protection.
Reduce protection gapsShadow APIs
Bring unknown APIs into view
Identify undocumented, forgotten, and zombie APIs so they can move into API discovery, scanning, and positive security workflows.
API inventory stays currentAI Exposure
Detect exposed AI and model services
Spot public AI infrastructure such as Ollama, model endpoints, open ports, versions, and weak access posture before they become an abuse path.
AI stack visibilityAudit Inventory
Show what is exposed and protected
Maintain a current inventory of discovered assets, exposure, onboarding status, and protection coverage for reviews, audits, and board reporting.

FAQ
Questions teams ask about AppTrana Asset Discovery.
No. Asset Discovery is a supporting capability inside AppTrana WAAP. It helps teams find internet-facing assets and move them into AppTrana scanning, WAF, API, DDoS, bot, or AI protection workflows from the same platform.
AppTrana can discover public domains, subdomains, IPs, web applications, exposed services, APIs, and AI infrastructure that may not be present in a static asset inventory.
Yes. AppTrana helps identify documented, shadow, and zombie APIs exposed through public routes, forgotten hosts, and observed traffic patterns, then routes them into API discovery and protection workflows.
Yes. AppTrana can help detect exposed AI and model services, including Ollama-style endpoints, open ports, version signals, hosted model indicators, and weak access posture that should be reviewed before abuse.
Once AppTrana discovers AI endpoints, model servers, and exposed AI infrastructure, they can be onboarded into the same platform for protection through AI Shield and SwyftComply AI, alongside web apps, APIs, and other assets, so discovery and AI protection do not require separate tools.
Newly discovered assets can be classified by exposure and protection status, then moved into AppTrana scanning, WAAP protection, API security, DDoS, bot defense, or AI Shield workflows without rebuilding inventory in another tool.
Yes. Teams can use the inventory to show discovered assets, exposure, onboarding status, and protection coverage for security reviews, compliance checks, and board reporting.
Yes. AppTrana's managed services team can help review newly discovered exposure, identify assets that need scanning or onboarding, and guide the next protection step.
