Salt Security Achieves AWS WAF Ready Designation

Salt Security, an API security company, has become an Amazon Web Service (AWS) Web Application Firewall (WAF) Ready Partner. This service helps customers discover partner solutions validated by AWS Partner Network (APN) Solutions Architects that integrate with AWS WAF to accelerate the adoption of an enhanced and holistic security approach.

AWS WAF is available to all AWS customers and all AWS Regions and can be deployed directly from the AWS console.

Being an AWS WAF Ready Partner differentiates Salt Security as an APN member with a product that works with AWS WAF and is generally available for and fully supports AWS customers.

AWS WAF Ready Partners help customers identify easy-to-deploy solutions that can help detect, mitigate and analyze some of the most common internet threats and vulnerabilities.

Today, businesses are focused on ensuring that websites and applications are protected from external threats that can lead to a loss of revenue, loss of customer trust, and loss of brand reputation.

Implementing a WAF can be a challenging task that requires deep security experience that can be expensive and hard to find in-house. AWS WAF Ready Partners offer customers a simpler solution to deploying and maintaining their application layer security solution through easy-to-deploy solutions to detect, mitigate and analyze some of the most common internet threats and vulnerabilities.

“Many of our customers rely on Salt to secure their APIs on AWS. By achieving these designations, we make it easier and faster for businesses to protect the APIs running on their AWS environments,´ said Gilad Barzilay, head of business development at Salt Security. “Our customers benefit from our unique cloud-scale API data lake architecture, which applies AI and ML for API discovery and threat protection.”

The Salt platform deploys out of band, to avoid interference with application performance or availability. The Salt platform pairs with AWS WAF as an API traffic collection point and to block detected attackers.

To support the seamless integration and deployment of solutions such as the Salt platform, AWS established the AWS Service Ready Program. The program helps customers identify solutions integrated with AWS services and spend less time evaluating new tools, and more time scaling their use of solutions that are integrated with AWS services.

Salt will host a live digital event on Thursday to discuss how the Salt Security API Protection Platform and AWS WAF create a best-of-breed solution to gain the context needed to identify and stop API attackers. Learn more and register here.
