Salt Security, the leading API security company, announced that the Salt Security API Protection Platform has been named a Gold Winner in the “Enterprise Product of the Year – Security Software” category in the Best in Biz Awards 2023.
The Salt Security API Protection Platform is a best-in-class solution that combines the power of cloud-scale big data and time-tested ML/AI to detect and prevent API attacks. With its patented approach to blocking today’s low-and-slow API attacks, only Salt provides the adaptive intelligence needed to protect APIs. By correlating activities across millions of APIs and users over time, Salt delivers deep context with real-time analysis and continuous insights into API threats and vulnerabilities, including those outlined in the OWASP API Security Top 10 list.
“APIs sit at the core of today’s modern applications, connecting enterprises to vital data and services,” said Michael Nicosia, co-founder and COO, Salt Security. “Given the amount of sensitive information being transmitted through APIs, along with the growing complexity of API attacks, strong API security has become critical for modern businesses. The Salt platform is the only solution that provides cloud-scale big data and real-time analysis across all application environments, pinpointing and stopping attackers in their tracks. We are honored to have our solution’s unique capabilities recognized by the Best in Biz Awards.”

The Salt platform protects APIs across their full lifecycle – build, deploy and runtime phases. Through its unique API Context Engine (ACE) architecture, the Salt platform provides API design analysis in pre-production, discovers all APIs, pinpoints and stops API attackers, and provides remediation insights learned during runtime to harden APIs.
