THE PROBLEM
APIs are expanding, and so is your attack surface
Look, we get it. API security is tough. Here's what you're up against
.webp)
Zombie APIs
Those old, forgotten APIs? Hackers love them.
Shadow APIs
Can't secure APIs you don’t know about, right?
.webp)
Orphan APIs
APIs deployed but not in use - out of sight, out of mind.

Sensitive Data Exposure
One mistake, and your critical data is out there.
API Overload
So many parameters, so many ways in for attackers.
New threats every day
It's like playing whack-a-mole with security threats.

The Astra API Security Platform continuously discovers and scans APIs for 15,000+ vulnerabilities
API Discovery
Discover API endpoints that even your developers would have forgotten about. Gain continuous visibility into all APIs across your entire infrastructure. Hackers don’t limit their search to documented APIs—neither should your security tools.
Detect Zombie APIs
Uncover unmaintained or forgotten APIs which become easy targets for attackers looking for vulnerabilities in neglected endpoints.
Reveal Shadow APIs
Identify hidden or undocumented APIs in your infrastructure that operate without monitoring, tracking, or proper authorization.
Uncover Orphan APIs
Spot documented APIs deployed in your environment that aren't receiving any traffic, indicating potential inefficiencies or unused attack surfaces.
Prevent Sensitive Data Exposure
Identify APIs handling PII, tokens, and sensitive data that may be vulnerable to breaches, allowing you to address risks before they lead to leaks.
API Security Testing (DAST)
Shift left with Astra's DAST vulnerability scanner, analyze your APIs for an extensive range of vulnerabilities. Our robust scanner performs authenticated scans to detect:
OWASP API Top 10 vulnerabilities
Secret exposures like tokens & PII
Injection and scripting attacks
Broken access control flaws
IDOR vulnerabilities
Known CVEs
API Pentest
Hacker style penetration testing that simulates real-world attack scenarios on your APIs. Get a offensive penetration test on your APIs by Astra’s expert pentesters. Combine automated security with manual testing to leave no stone unturned, you get:
Certified pentesters with OSCP, CEH, CRTP, AWS, PCI etc. certifications
Deep dive into your APIs to uncover business logic vulnerabilities
Clear steps to fix what we find
Easy collaboration in one platform
A shiny pentest certificate when you’re done fixing the vulnerabilities
Authorization Matrix
Manage complex API authorizations with a bird’s-eye view of user level access privileges. Ensure low-privilege users don’t have access to sensitive APIs, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. Spot those sneaky privilege issues before hackers do.
Traffic Connectors
Integrate seamlessly with your infrastructure for full visibility and continuous API scanning.
AWS API Gateway
GCP Gateway (Apigee)
Nginx Ingress
Postman
AWS Traffic Mirroring
GCP Packet Mirroring
Burp Suite

How it works
Secure your APIs with the Astra API Security Platform in 5 simple steps
Upload Your OpenAPI Specification
Begin by uploading the OpenAPI spec file for your API. This helps Astra understand your API’s structure, endpoints, and parameters for accurate scanning.
Install a Traffic Connector Integration
Install a connector integration within your infrastructure for enhanced API discovery. This optional step allows Astra to monitor real-time traffic and uncover API risks such as Zombie, Shadow, Orphan and other risky APIs.

Continuous API Monitoring
Astra continuously monitors your infrastructure for any changes in APIs, providing you with complete visibility into your API ecosystem.
API Vulnerability Scanning (DAST)
Astra performs Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) on your APIs, scanning for over 10,000 vulnerabilities, including the OWASP API Top 10 and known CVEs.
Review and Remediate Results
Access detailed reports with actionable insights. Collaborate with your team directly on the platform to fix vulnerabilities efficiently and strengthen your security posture.

Our API Security Platform features an
ever-evolving library of test cases
An API Security Platform purpose-built for
engineering & security teams of all sizes
Continuous Security Scanning of APIs
Automatically scan every new or modified API in your infrastructure for vulnerabilities. By integrating continuous security into your development cycle, you can proactively shift from DevOps to DevSecOps.
API Vulnerability Scans in your CI/CD
Sync API scanning with your code deployment cycles. Run in-depth automated scans against your APIs right from your CI/CD to catch vulnerabilities before they reach production.
Scan Spec Files
Simply upload your Postman collections, GraphQL schemas, OpenAPI specs, or JSON files, and Astra will learn from your API structure and draw vulnerability insights.
Incremental API Tests
Whenever an API is updated or changed, Astra performs delta security scans to ensure new changes haven’t introduced vulnerabilities, keeping your APIs secure with each iteration.
"Astra identified several moderate and high severity issues that our team never thought existed. We are working in the Mental Health space and data privacy and security are extremely critical to us. That being said, I am thankful for their service."
“A key standout during our Astra Pentest was the solid support via Slack, making communication easy and efficient. The platform itself is user-friendly, and the Jira integration greatly streamlined issue resolution for our team, seamlessly fitting into our existing workflow”
"Astra's exceptional manual penetration testing and efficient automated tools have provided invaluable insights into our application's security, making them our trusted partner for comprehensive and reliable security measures"
