Cequence Security’s API Security Testing offering empowers security teams to run at the speed of business by enforcing consistent protection standards across production and pre-production API environments
LONDON, UK: Cequence Security has announced it has enhanced the testing capabilities within its Unified API Protection Platform with the availability of API Security Testing. This API Security Testing framework encourages shift-left efforts by giving security and development teams the tools to quickly uncover and remediate API vulnerabilities in pre-production environments that could otherwise lead to business disruption in production. To learn more about the new testing capabilities, request a demo here.
With API Security Testing, security and development teams can integrate continuous and automated testing of their pre-production APIs into their development and release cycle. For scenarios where no API specifications exist, security teams can leverage real-time API traffic analysis to baseline API specifications based on runtime traffic, eliminating the need to search for owners of legacy APIs or create specifications from scratch.
“Driven by the rapid rise in API exploits caused by coding errors, security and development teams are looking at ways to improve their API testing efforts without jeopardising their continuous development release cycles,” said Varun Kohli, Chief Marketing Officer at Cequence Security. “API Security Testing complements our runtime compliance capabilities that detect security risks such as business logic abuse and OWASP API Top 10 risks in production APIs. With API Security Testing, teams can apply the same compliance and security checks to their build processes to detect compliance issues earlier in the development cycle for pre-production APIs.”
