Salt Security provides an enterprise-grade platform designed to discover, protect, and govern every API, AI agent, and MCP server across an organization's environment. Using patented artificial intelligence and machine learning, the platform correlates activity across millions of APIs and users over time, delivering real-time threat detection, attack prevention, and posture governance without requiring agents, proxies, or code changes.
The platform's discovery capability, called Illuminate, automatically and continuously identifies all internal, external, shadow, third-party, and deprecated APIs without manual tagging or traffic replay. Organizations gain a complete and current API inventory within minutes of deployment, with granular details including parameters, usage patterns, risk scores, and sensitive data exposure. Salt maps discovered APIs to compliance frameworks including PCI DSS, GDPR, NIST, and SOC 2, enforcing governance at scale through its built-in Policy Hub.
Salt's behavioral analysis engine detects API-specific threats, business logic attacks, fraud patterns, and low-and-slow reconnaissance that traditional WAFs cannot identify. The platform detects attacker intent weeks before conventional security tools trigger alerts. It holds the only granted patent for using AI to identify and prevent API attacks.
For agentic AI environments, Salt discovers every AI agent and MCP server operating across an organization, analyzes each component for misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and exposed credentials, and provides real-time detection of abuse and anomalous behavior. The platform integrates with SIEM tools, Jira, and firewall solutions, enabling security teams to enforce API and agent security without operational friction.
