Tackling the biggest challenges in Shift Left API Security
Addressing security vulnerabilities only after APIs are deployed exposes systems to significant risks and costly remediation efforts.
Fixing in Production is Too Late
Traditional security testing often happens late in the development lifecycle, making it harder and more expensive to fix vulnerabilities.
Adopting Shift Left Strategy?
Many organizations struggle to adopt a shift-left approach and fully integrate DevSecOps strategies
Don’t Ship Insecure APIs
Without continuous, AI-driven testing, unknown API risks slip into production, leaving sensitive data exposed and teams scrambling to react.
