Traceable

Overview

Traceable is a leading API Security platform designed to provide end-to-end protection for modern applications powered by APIs. It works by discovering all APIs, including shadow and zombie APIs, understanding their behavior, tracing data flow, and analyzing user activity to detect and block sophisticated attacks, data breaches, and fraudulent activities.

The platform offers capabilities across the entire software development lifecycle, from shifting security left with automated API security testing integrated into CI/CD pipelines to providing real-time runtime protection against malicious traffic. Key strengths include deep API context, behavioral analysis, data loss prevention specific to APIs, and automated threat hunting. Traceable helps organizations gain visibility into their API attack surface, manage risk posture, comply with regulations, and enhance overall application security.

By providing detailed insights into how APIs are used and attacked, Traceable enables security teams to prioritize vulnerabilities, respond quickly to incidents, and collaborate effectively with development and operations teams to build more secure applications from the ground up.
