wallarm

Wallarm is a leading API security platform designed to protect APIs and AI-powered applications from modern threats with real-time detection, blocking, and comprehensive inventory. Core Features Discovery: Automatically detects API endpoints, parameters, shadow/orphan/zombie APIs, sensitive data exposure (like PII), and assigns risk scores via traffic analysis. ​ Protection: Blocks OWASP Top 10/API Top 10 attacks, business logic abuse (BOLA), bots, credential stuffing, L7 DoS with rate limiting, and custom rules; supports inline/out-of-band modes. Response: Provides deep attack forensics, geoblocking (VPN/Tor), integrations (Slack, Splunk, Sentinel), virtual patching, and SOC-as-a-service. ​ Testing: Passive vulnerability scanning from traffic, Threat Replay Testing (TRT), Schema-Based Testing (SBT/DAST), and API Attack Surface Management (AASM). ​ How It Works Wallarm uses a filtering node (edge or self-hosted) to analyze traffic between the internet and your APIs, sending metrics to the Wallarm Cloud for processing, rule compilation, vulnerability scanning, and API inventory building. ​ Cloud instances available in US and EU; deployment options: Security Edge (fully managed), Hybrid, or On-Premise. ​ Company Details Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Wallarm was founded in 2013 and backed by investors like Toba Capital, Y Combinator, and Partech. ​ Recognized in 2025 Inc. 5000 for rapid growth; focuses on fast deployment without heavy human investment.
