API security platform for discovery, testing, and protection of APIs
API security platform for discovery, testing, and protection of APIs
Checked October 2026.
Cequence API Security is a platform that discovers, monitors, and tests APIs to assess risks related to compliance, governance, data loss, and business disruption. The platform provides comprehensive API discovery capabilities for internal, external, and third-party APIs through both inside-out and outside-in approaches.
The solution automatically identifies documented, undocumented, third-party, and shadow APIs to create a runtime API catalog. It assesses risks related to access control, sensitive data leakage, and compliance with published API specifications. The platform can automatically generate API specifications when they are not available.
Cequence uses ML-based rules to identify and mask sensitive data with predefined and customizable data patterns. It supports worldwide sensitive data patterns, enabling differentiation between various regional identification formats.
The platform includes integrated API security testing capabilities that enable teams to test APIs in both pre-production and runtime environments. Test plans can be automatically generated from Postman collections or API specifications. The solution supports CI/CD pipelines, IDEs, and stand-alone testing.
The Flow Graph feature visualizes API interactions, dependencies, and information flows throughout the API infrastructure. It helps identify internal and third-party APIs, validate expected paths, and detect anomalies and security gaps.
The platform provides protection against attacks through ML-powered threat detection and analytics. It integrates with third-party defensive solutions such as WAFs and API gateways. Native mitigation capabilities include blocking, logging, rate limiting, header injection, and deception.

Our take
Teams needing inside-out and outside-in API discovery with bot protection.
The bot protection integration and native mitigation capabilities, including blocking, rate limiting, and deception, mean Cequence can act on what it finds rather than just reporting it. That makes it more operationally complete than solutions that stop at detection. The CI/CD integration and Postman collection support make it accessible to development teams, not just security teams. For organizations that want a single platform covering discovery, testing, and protection with strong bot defense, Cequence is worth a serious evaluation.
