Illuminate™
makes your API risk visible — before it becomes a problem
APIs drive innovation, but they also introduce unseen risk. Illuminate™ gives you full visibility and control, so you can reduce risk, meet compliance, and stay resilient.
Instant clarity into your API fabric
Your API fabric is the interconnected mesh of APIs that powers your operations, applications, and digital experiences. It’s constantly evolving, and without visibility, it becomes your largest source of risk.
One platform.
Three essential capabilities.
API discovery & visibility
Find every API, even the ones you didn’t know existed.
Most organizations are blind to large portions of their live API surface, including shadow APIs, third-party connections, and deprecated endpoints. Illuminate gives you real-time visibility into every API running in production across your environments, without manual tagging or agents.
What it means for you:
- Reduce blind spots.
- Map risk faster.
- Eliminate guesswork.
API posture & compliance
Know where your policies fall short, and fix them.
Illuminate continuously analyzes your API posture and maps it to frameworks like PCI DSS, GDPR, NIST, and SOC 2. Get a clear view of where controls are missing, misaligned, or out of date, and enforce governance at scale using Salt’s Policy Hub.
What it means for you:
- Prove compliance.
- Streamline audits.
- Avoid policy drift.
API threat detection & protection
Stop API attacks before they disrupt your business.
Salt’s patented behavioral analysis detects API-specific threats, fraud patterns, and low-and-slow attacks that others miss. Illuminate detects attacker intent weeks before traditional tools trigger alerts. We connect threat detection to posture and discovery for complete, actionable defense.
What it means for you:
- Prevent breaches.
- Respond faster.
- Protect customer trust.
