Salt Security, one of the prominent API security companies, has recently declared to integrate with Google Cloud Marketplace as a Build Partner to provide users direct access to its platform that is providing cyber-attack detection and prevention, API discovery, and shift-left features.
This integration empowers Google Cloud customers with optimized visibility and control over API traffic. It uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and massive cloud data to baseline users and APIs, thus providing continuous automated discovery of those APIs and exposing sensitive information. It is capable of blocking and detecting complex API attacks, including those mentioned in the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) API Security Top 10 list. Its shift-left features include pre-prod testing, OAS analysis, and detailed remediation insights. It also offers features available on the Google Cloud platform like identification of API and sensitive, exposed data, production prevention from exploits, runtime protection, visualization of APIs, tracking threats, attack simulation, and remediation insights.
Gilad Barzilay, Salt Security’s Head of Business Development, said, “By joining the Google Cloud Marketplace, Salt reinforces its ongoing commitment to bolster the protection of sensitive company data and files in the constantly evolving Google Cloud ecosystem.” He added, “By integrating Google Cloud environments with the Salt Platform, customers can see and protect all APIs running within these environments through dynamic API discovery.”
