Salt Protect
Real-time API threat detection and blocking using behavioral analysis

Salt Protect Description
Salt Protect is an API security solution that detects and blocks API threats in real time using behavioral analysis. The product operates without relying on signatures or rules, instead analyzing API traffic patterns to identify malicious intent and attacks. The solution provides detection capabilities for business logic attacks, including BOLA (Broken Object Level Authorization), API scraping, and AI prompt injection attacks. It maintains session and sequence awareness to understand API interactions across multiple requests and timeframes. Salt Protect is designed to identify low-and-slow attacks that unfold over extended periods by maintaining context over time. This approach addresses limitations of traditional WAFs and API gateways that lack the contextual understanding needed to detect evolving API threats. The product focuses on protecting high-risk transactions and preventing abuse of business logic vulnerabilities. It analyzes real API traffic to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and data exposure risks within API implementations. Salt Protect integrates with SIEM, SOAR, and gateway solutions to fit into existing security infrastructure. The solution targets threats that traditional security tools miss, including logic abuse and context-dependent attacks that require understanding of API behavior patterns rather than simple pattern matching.
