Our take
In today’s digital economy, APIs are the direct gateway to companies' most important data and assets. Almost all businesses are subject to API-related security issues, and they need to mitigate the risk of rising attacks. Salt Security has developed an API threat protection solution using machine learning and artificial intelligence.
CEO Roey Eliyahu is the pioneer behind the company's market-only patented security solution, which differentiates it from other security service offerings. Eliyahu's achievements and dedication to API security prompted his inclusion in the 2021 Forbes 30 Under 30 Enterprise Technology listing.
API abuses have gone from an uncommon to one of the predominant attack vectors for cybercriminals looking to breach a company's security. The sophistication of these attacks has increased in step with their prevalence. Salt Security will need to continually innovate to stop API attackers from succeeding. Its recent launch of Pepper, an AI-powered knowledge-based assistant for API security is an example of how the company will facilitate wider access to its services.
