Market-leading API Protection Platform honored for exceptional application security protection
Salt Security, a leading API security company, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named it to the prestigious Security 100 list in the Web, Email, and Application Security category. CRN’s 10th annual Security 100 list recognizes leading channel-focused security vendors within five key technology categories: Endpoint and Managed Security; Identity, Access and Data Security; Network Security; Security Operations, Risk and Threat Intelligence; and Web, Email and Application Security.
As API attacks continue to rise in prevalence, Salt Security’s API Protection Platform offers critical protection, earning the company recognition from CRN. The platform’s enhanced API discovery, powered by eBPF (Extended Berkeley Packet Filter) technology, combined with cloud-scale big data and ML/AI, enables effective detection and prevention. Salt’s patented approach excels at stopping “low-and-slow” attacks, providing the adaptive intelligence needed to defend against even the most sophisticated threats.
“Each company on the Security 100 list provides cutting-edge security offerings through solution providers in the IT channel,” said Jennifer Follett, Vice President, U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, at The Channel Company. “Robust cybersecurity is essential for modern businesses, and these vendors are committed to keeping their security portfolios ahead of bad actors and emerging threats. We congratulate them and look forward to seeing how they advance cybersecurity innovations in the future.”
According to the Salt Labs State of API Security Report 2024, API security incidents have more than doubled over the past year. This growth complicates security and management efforts as traditional security tooling is not prepared to handle the specific challenges of today’s evolving API attacks. Salt’s API Protection Platform provides comprehensive API protection by continuously discovering APIs and exposed sensitive data, detecting and preventing attacks, and offering advanced shift-left capabilities. This enables organizations to identify and protect their APIs by providing context-based insights across the entire API ecosystem, allowing users to detect and block malicious reconnaissance before attacks succeed.
“In today’s threat landscape, robust API security is paramount, and we’re thrilled that CRN has recognized Salt Security as a leader in this critical area,” said Susan Darley, Head of Alliances and Channels at Salt Security. “This distinguished recognition highlights our commitment to streamlining API discovery, enhancing posture assurance, accelerating threat detection, mitigating risks more efficiently, and providing organizations with the comprehensive visibility they need. Salt Security is investing in our Partner program to accelerate growth and create more value for joint customers with seamless integrations.”
