IRVINE, CA, JUNE 16, 2020<\/b> \u2014 Today, the API security leader and creator of the industry\u2019s first API Firewall, 42Crunch, announced the launch of their new REST API Static Security Testing extension<\/a> for Atlassian\u2019s code collaboration and CI\/CD solution, Bitbucket Pipelines. This extension enables companies to easily enforce secure API design right from their CI\/CD pipeline \u2014 making it easier than ever to enable a DevSecOps process for API security.<\/span><\/p>\n

The transition to cloud-native, microservice-based and serverless architectures had led to proliferation of APIs. Applications now have components talking to each other via APIs over network. Thus, companies end up having hundreds if not thousands of APIs. As applications evolve, developers keep changing APIs and spinning up new ones each time a new component gets added to the system.<\/span><\/p>\n

APIs thus have become the new application attack surface and the one that is extremely hard to control considering its constant change.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the ever-rising privacy and cybersecurity requirements and the potential catastrophic consequences of a breach, companies are turning to DevSecOps approach to enable automated security static analysis and security testing as part of their CI\/CD pipelines. This allows companies to establish and maintain the security of their systems while maintaining agility and delivering business requirements.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new 42Crunch extension for Bitbucket Pipelines<\/a> allows companies to add REST API static security testing (SAST) right into their CI\/CD pipeline. The benefits include:<\/span><\/p>\n
