[NEW Launch] LLM Security for AI APIs in Beta

We cannot be more thrilled to announce beta launch of our new features in a new category - LLM Security. We are the first ever security company to launch LLM Security features and we can’t wait to reveal them to the world. Join us as we reveal features for OWASP Top 10 for LLMs such as prompt injection, insecure output handling and more. Sign up for Beta here.

We are now on G2 and Gartner

Akto on Gartner

Akto has grown with tonnes of customer reviews and feedback. We thought of giving our users a platform to write user reviews so that others can learn more about the wonderful things we have been doing in the API Security space. To accomplish that, we are now officially registered on G2 and Gartner. Go ahead and check our platform page and help us get those five star ⭐️ reviews.

Super Exciting new launches last month!

 Introducing Akto in CLI

Akto in CLI

You can now run Akto tests directly from the Command-Line Interface (CLI). No need to jump between screens or platforms. Run Akto tests right from your terminal, be it locally or on a custom domain. Start now by testing from the largest API Security library. You can read the announcement blog to get started.

Akto’s Test Editor is now 2x more efficient

Akto Test Editor

We've added autocomplete, syntax error highlighting and examples snippets in YAML test editor. With auto-generation to YAML templates, you can choose to add example commands by just clicking on the suggestions from test editor.
