Protect All Your APIs from Emerging Threats - Automatically
Shadow APIs, design flaws, and business logic abuses expose organisations to costly breaches. Imperva API Security continuously discovers, profiles, and protects all APIs – public or private – blocking OWASP API Top 10 threats, automated abuse, and bot-driven attacks with precision and ease.
Overview
Imperva API Security: Comprehensive Protection for All APIs
Imperva API Security delivers end-to-end protection for every API across your environment. It automatically discovers public, private, and undocumented (“shadow”) APIs, maps their inventory, and continuously profiles behavior. By conducting ongoing risk assessments and validating API design against the OWASP API Security Top 10, the solution ensures emerging vulnerabilities and overlooked endpoints are promptly identified and remediated.
Seamlessly integrated with Imperva’s WAF and Bot Protection services, it enables layered security that defends against a broad spectrum of threats – from business logic abuse and credential stuffing to structured API attacks – while preserving API performance and resilience.
