About Salt Security

salt.security

Salt Security provides an AI‑infused API security platform that protects APIs across the entire lifecycle — from automated discovery and inventory to posture management and runtime threat protection. The platform applies machine learning and large‑scale traffic analysis to detect and stop sophisticated API threats (such as data exfiltration, business‑logic abuse, and automated attacks) while reducing false positives and prioritizing risk. Salt integrates with CI/CD pipelines, API gateways, proxies, and security tooling to give engineering and security teams continuous visibility, remediation guidance, and enforcement across cloud‑native and enterprise environments.
