API Detection and Response Solution for F5
Together, Neosec and F5 deliver a combined solution that is a first of its kind in discovering and protecting APIs. It brings together the Neosec ability to continuously discover APIs and its behavioral analytics approach to security with the ability to manage and automatically remediate and respond to threats in the F5 BIG-IP.
Digital transformation is driving the exponential increase in API rollouts, enabling organizations to remain relevant and accelerate their business with new revenue streams. But APIs are now a growing and significant attack surface that requires a different type of protection. APIs expose core business functionality by nature, their implementation is distributed and often not uniform, and CI/CD pipelines ensure they are in constant flux.
API Security Challenges Solved
Maintain an API Inventory
You cannot protect what you don’t know about. Undiscovered, undocumented, or shadow APIs deployed by distributed teams are a problem for every organization.
Understand Your API Risk Posture
After discovering your API estate, knowing which ones pose the most risk is critical. Understanding which APIs transmit sensitive data is vital during any risk audit.
Protect Against OWASP API Top 10 Vulnerabilities
Adequately protecting your APIs from vulnerabilities is difficult in ever changing agile organizations and traditional security techniques like signature matching are insufficient.
Detect Attacks from Authenticated Users
Business logic abuse, misuse of legitimate access, and account takeover often go undetected as traditional tools lack the context required for detecting API attacks.
See Behavior with Business Context
Without the correct tools, seeing all your API usage data over time and understanding the business context of abusive behavior is impossible.
Investigate and Hunt API Activity
Attempting to investigate API-related incidents, find indicators of compromise, or troubleshoot a user’s problem requires retained data and the correct tools.
