API security company Salt Security announced a new product integration with CrowdStrike. This partnership will combine the capabilities of Salt’s Security API Protection platform and CrowdStrike’s Falcon SIEM. This integration, which is now available on the CrowdStrike Marketplace, provides API-based attacker telemetry, paired with a more comprehensive view of the attack surface.
With its patented approach to blocking low-and-slow API attacks, the Salt platform equips organizations with adaptive intelligence to safeguard APIs and enhance security posture throughout the API lifecycle.
The integration combines Salt’s API-based attacker telemetry with endpoint, identity and cloud telemetry from the Falcon platform, third-party security, IT data and AI and workflow automation, helping to provide a more holistic view of the modern attack surface while also helping rapidly detect and respond to threats.
“API attacks are rapidly on the rise, as bad actors exploit these powerful data transport mechanisms to spy on and steal company assets,” said Roey Eliyahu, Salt’s co-founder and CEO. “APIs are unique, with individual behavioral attributes and use cases, making it highly complex to maintain an accurate view of their potential attack surface. This integration combines our best-in-class API security technology with CrowdStrike’s proven Falcon platform to extend visibility and provide the threat intelligence required to proactively address security gaps and mitigate the most sophisticated threats.”
“APIs drive digital transformation and application modernization but also create unique security challenges,” said Daniel Bernard, CrowdStrike’s chief business officer. “Our collaboration with Salt Security integrates their API threat intelligence with the Falcon platform, delivering actionable insights to help organizations of all sizes identify security gaps, understand their attack surface and proactively secure critical assets.”
