A Proactive Approach to API Security with Salt

Likeliness to Recommend

9 /10

What differentiates Salt Security API Protection Platform from other similar products?

In a recent scenario, we were able to identify a potential vulnerability in one of our core APIs before it was targeted, thanks to Salt’s ability to detect unusual patterns in real-time API calls

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I’ve worked with a lot of security tools that only alert you once an attack has already happened—by then, the damage is often done. But with Salt, it’s as though the tool is one step ahead, predicting potential attacks and stopping them before they cause harm

What do you dislike most about this product?

It takes more manual work than I’d prefer to get everything connected and fully monitored. It’s not a deal-breaker by any means, but it does add some friction to the implementation process

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Right now, the alerts are fairly standard, but it would be great to have the ability to prioritize them more based on the severity of potential risks or even have more granular control over what triggers alerts

Pros

  • Trustworthy
  • Inspires Innovation
  • Saves Time
  • Acts with Integrity
