42Crunch was founded by veterans of the security and API management industry who recognized that the traditional approach to protecting APIs was simply not scalable. APIs are the core building block of every enterprise’s digital strategy and are driving internet traffic growth1<\/sup>, yet they are also the number one attack surface for hackers2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n Traditional application security solutions such as web application firewalls (WAF) and static and dynamic testing tools (SAST\/DAST) are not designed to secure APIs nor even are API gateways. 42Crunch is filling this security gap by providing API security specific tools designed to automate and scale the protection of APIs for businesses large and small.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n 42Crunch was founded to make security practitioners’ and developers’ lives easier by enabling a collaborative DevSecOps approach to API security. Application Security, API architects, Developers, QA, and Operations – get a shared view of API security, its shared definition, and a shared understanding of what needs to be done to enable security at scale.<\/p>\n The 42Crunch API Security platform enables security teams to centralize the control and governance of API security policy enforcement across a distributed organization. In parallel it also gives development teams easy-to-use tooling that reduces errors, improves the security posture of their APIs and increases the speed of API delivery.<\/p>\n\t\t By implementing automated checks on the source code and configuration being deployed through the pipeline as well as the resulting software, you can detect new and updated APIs and ensure that they are properly secured and\/or managed. An example of a product that implements this kind of discovery is 42Crunch API Security Platform<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t 42Crunch’s ability to secure Runtime protections stand out with 42Crunch because its API protections take a unique approach to problem – a micro-firewall based upon the API specification. In terms of overall suitability, 42Crunch checks the boxes better than most products.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t We go where the developers are and have made our OpenAPI Editor and API Security Audit tools available to developers in their favorite IDEs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t As an active participant in the OWASP Foundation we contribute to the workings of the global security community through its regional chapters and global conferences.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\tWe take protecting data seriously.
