- Fastly API Security
Best for: Fastly customers protecting APIs on the edge
It is on the list because discovery and blocking happen on the Fastly edge where your API traffic already flows, and it sends alerts to Slack, Jira, PagerDuty and Datadog. If your APIs are not behind Fastly, or most of your risk sits in internal and partner APIs, its edge view will see less of it, so weigh that first.

- Wallarm API Security
Best for: Teams wanting inline API blocking without specifications
Wallarm earns its place because it can start blocking before your APIs are documented, which helps when your specs lag behind the code. It runs hybrid, so you can put the filtering where your traffic is. Before you choose it, test its blocking modes on your busiest APIs, because a wrong block there lands on real users.
