API Security Done Right

Why you should choose 42Crunch for your API security requirements

The API Security Challenge

The flipside of the exponential adoption of APIs over the past decade has been the upsurge in the sheer volume of API attacks. By 2022, API attacks became the most-frequent attack vector, causing data breaches for enterprise web applications. Yet despite years of investment in traditional application security solutions (WAF, SAST & DAST etc.) and more recently API gateways, the attacks continue to breach these defenses with increasing financial costs and brand reputational damage. APIs cannot be treated like applications and are subject to a different range of attacks and vulnerabilities as identified by the OWASP API Top 10. Ops and security teams lack a systematic way to spot, prevent and respond to API-based attacks.

Proactive, Not Reactive API Security

42Crunch’s founders recognize that the traditional approach to protecting APIs is not fit for purpose, nor capable of scaling to meet the forecasted growth of API usage. No longer can security rely on obscurity, manually configured rules, or hope that some anomaly detection can report an attack. By leveraging the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) as the de-facto standard to create an API contract which describes what the API will accept and what will be rejected a proactive approach can be adopted.
