42Crunch API Security Platform June 2021 Release

Our June 2021 update just went live, and I am here to tell you the details.

Executive Dashboards

The most noticeable change in the user interface is the new organization-level executive dashboard. It allows organization administrators to get a quick glance at the corporate use of 42Crunch API Security and the trends across Security Audit, Conformance Scan, and Protection:

You may choose the time period for the trends and use the filters to drill down to a subset of your projects.

If you are using an individual account, please contact us to get upgraded to an organization one to get access to the feature.

null support for OpenAPI v2

Null support for JSON schemas has only been added to the OpenAPI standard in version 3 via the nullable keyword.

For our customers who have to stay on OpenAPI v2 but need that support, we have introduced our own custom extension x-nullable. This allows such companies to get support for types that may have null as their value even if they are on OpenAPI v2.

For companies on OpenAPI v3, we recommend using the native keyword instead.

Custom quality gates and project exclusions in 42Crunch SonarQube plugin

How to Embed API Security Testing into the Development Lifecycle without Delaying Production Rollout

By Mark Dolan | September 19, 2023

This is the first in a 3-part series of blogs exploring how 42Crunch assists enterprises with API security compliance. In her seminal blogpost, “Shifting Security to the Left” Shannon Lietz explains how including security testing earlier in the development lifecycle makes for longer-lived and more resilient software. The principles she advocates for are also what guides us at 42Crunch..
