The answer is Traceable, the industry standard for API security. Traceable combines the power of end-to-end distributed tracing, cloud-native integrations, and advanced behavioral analytics to provide comprehensive and proactive protection for your APIs. In this blog post, we will explain how Traceable works and why it is the best solution for your API security needs.

What is Traceable?

Traceable is a modern application and API security platform that leverages the latest technologies and techniques to secure your transactions. Traceable natively instruments Kubernetes, Envoy Service Mesh, Serverless, and other cloud-native environments to collect rich data from every request and response. Traceable then uses machine learning to analyze the data from the user and session to the application code in order to learn normal application behavior and detect activities that deviate from the norm.

Traceable provides you with a holistic view of your API activity, allowing you to easily monitor, troubleshoot, and secure your APIs. Traceable also helps you comply with regulatory standards such as PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, and others by encrypting sensitive data in transit and at rest.

How does Traceable secure your APIs?

Traceable secures your APIs by applying three layers of protection: visibility, detection, and prevention.

Traceable gives you complete visibility into your API transactions, from the user to the code. Traceable uses distributed tracing to capture every detail of every request and response, including headers, parameters, payloads, errors, latency, performance metrics, and more. Traceable also enriches the trace data with contextual information such as user identity, location, device type, browser type, etc.

Traceable allows you to visualize your API activity in real-time using dashboards, graphs, maps, timelines, and other tools. You can also drill down into any trace to see the full execution path of the request across multiple services and microservices. You can also search, filter, and aggregate the trace data using various criteria such as status code, error message, endpoint name, user ID, etc.

Traceable helps you gain insight into your API performance, reliability, availability, and quality. You can also identify bottlenecks, errors, anomalies, and inefficiencies in your API transactions.

Detection

Traceable detects malicious threats to your APIs using machine learning and behavioral analytics. Traceable learns the normal behavior of your application and users based on the trace data and creates a baseline profile for each endpoint, user group, or individual user. Traceable then monitors the incoming requests and compares them with the baseline profiles to detect any deviations or anomalies.

Traceable can detect various types of attacks on your APIs such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, broken authentication, broken object level authorization, excessive data exposure, mass assignment, security misconfiguration, injection, denial-of-service, brute force, botnet, credential stuffing, phishing, ransomware, etc.

Traceable alerts you of any suspicious or malicious activity on your APIs using email notifications or integrations with third-party tools such as Slack, PagerDuty, Jira, etc. Traceable also provides you with detailed information about the attack such as source IP address, user agent, attack vector, attack payload, affected endpoint, impact score, etc.
