Overview

API Protect offers observability and active protection for a variety of security issues that your APIs face. By enabling or implementing one of Data Theorem’s active protection integrations, API Secure can provide active protection in the following areas:

• Authentication and Authorization

• Encryption

• Attack Prevention

• Malicious Sites & Domains

• Bot Protection

• API Management and Monitoring

Deployment Guides

API Protect has support for many languages and platforms. Follow the , platforms, and environments.

Once deployed to your environment, the API Protect integration will monitor and collect data about incoming API requests. The data is then sent to Data Theorem’s platform for further analysis, in order to automatically discover APIs and detect attacks and/or anomalies.

To get started, follow the deployment guide that applies to your project to get started:environment.

Tracing SDKs

API Protect can be deployed using SDKs to be directly integrated into your application’s code.

• Python

vTap Integrations

API Protect can be deployed using vTap agents that receive a “copy” of all the incoming traffic targeting your APIs. In addition to active protection, the vTap agents also provide automated discovery of shadow/unknown APIs, as described in API Discovery Using vTap Integrations.
