Securing your APIs requires robust defense against a wide range of vulnerabilities and a complex array of attack vectors. With increasingly complex API estates across diverse environments, the task of properly protecting APIs can seem too big to tackle. That's where FireTail comes in. Our comprehensive posture management tools allow you to quickly identify, evaluate and remediate API vulnerabilities before threat actors can take advantage.
In order to effectively protect your APIs, you need to be able to spot weaknesses and flaws quickly across a large and complex inventory of public, private and shadow APIs, which is easier said than done. FireTail provides the timely insights needed to quickly identify and evaluate issues across all of your APIs.
Dealing with the fallout from a breach in API security can have a severe financial impact on a company. Remediation costs, legal expenses, and potential fines for breaches in compliance can lead to significant financial losses. The ability to identify, understand and respond quickly to incidents is vital.
Your API infrastructure is complex and it can be difficult to understand which vulnerabilities represent the biggest risk. FireTail provides all of the context needed to truly understand which threats need to be addressed first. With a clear system of findings, categorised by the level of risk they pose, you can efficiently prioritize your efforts.
Here are some common reasons that people contact FireTail. Feel free to have a look, and reach out if these don't help.
Recent research indicates that over 80% of activity on the internet evolves around API calls, highlighting their significance. APIs are involved in around two-thirds of today's cybersecurity incidents. Making API security essential when it comes to protecting your business and your customers.
Network layer security, such as a firewall or SSL, does not offer sufficient protection against many of the common API threats, such as authentication and authorization breaches. Many of the API incidents that occur, occur at an application layer.
FireTail’s Findings feature enables the detection of OWASP's 2019 Top 10 API security issues. The OWASP API Security Top 10 is a comprehensive document detailing the ten most critical security risks facing APIs. A finding is generated on FireTail's SaaS platform when an issue aligning with the OWASP top 10 is detected. This enables you to pinpoint a potential threat and apply remediation techniques to prevent an API breach.
FireTail can pinpoint API vulnerabilities down to the line of code, and provides detailed explanations of configuration errors, as well as recommended remediation code.
