As organizations adopt more modern application strategies, APIs are increasingly important for enabling seamless communication and data exchange. However, this interconnectedness also introduces more significant security risks. APIs are gateways to sensitive information, making them prime targets for attackers. This can result in data breaches, business disruptions, and reputational damage.

To tackle these challenges, Salt Security, a leader in API security, has partnered with Dazz, an application security posture management expert. This collaboration combines the strengths of both platforms to deliver a comprehensive solution that offers exceptional protection and remediation against API threats.

Proactive Risk Reduction and Automated Remediation

Integrating Salt Security and Dazz offers a comprehensive API and Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) solution. Salt Security utilizes its patented platform, powered by AI and machine learning, to analyze API traffic, enabling effective discovery, posture governance, and threat protection. Meanwhile, Dazz consolidates security exposure data across code, cloud, applications, and infrastructure, prioritizing the most critical findings.

This potent combination allows for proactive risk reduction by identifying and addressing API vulnerabilities before they can be exploited. Automated root cause analysis traces API misconfigurations and vulnerabilities back to their origin in the code. This gives developers the context to quickly resolve issues and prevent them from reoccurring.

Reduced MTTR and Improved Security Posture

Combining Salt Security's precise API threat detection with Dazz's automated remediation capabilities allows organizations to reduce the Mean Time to Remediation (MTTR) significantly. This integration improves security by providing continuous visibility, proactive threat detection, and automated responses. As a result, it strengthens defenses and lowers the chances of successful attacks.

Key Features and Benefits

The Salt Security and Dazz integration offers a range of benefits:

• Comprehensive API and Application Security Posture Management: Addresses threats specific to APIs and general application vulnerabilities, providing complete visibility and control over your entire attack surface.


• Proactive Risk Reduction: Identifies and mitigates API vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.


• Automated Root Cause Analysis: Traces API misconfigurations and vulnerabilities back to their source, enabling efficient remediation and preventing recurring issues.


• Reduced Mean Time to Resolution (MTTR): Accelerates the resolution of vulnerabilities through automated remediation capabilities.


• Improved Security Posture: Enhances your overall security posture with continuous visibility, proactive threat detection, and automated remediation.

Conclusion

Integrating Salt Security and Dazz provides a robust solution for organizations aiming to enhance their API and application security. By combining the capabilities of both platforms, organizations can gain comprehensive visibility, proactively address risks, automate remediation, and strengthen their overall security posture.
