Bringing Intelligent and Context-Aware API Security to the UK: Secon partners with Traceable.ai 

This “API sprawl” causes organisations to lose visibility and control over their growing number of APIs, many of which are undocumented. Traditional security solutions such as API gateways and Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) are insufficient for protecting the API layer, as they do not provide the necessary capabilities such as discovery and governance, API testing, and runtime exploit protection.

Traceable is the industry-leading API security platform, built to discover, protect, and manage all of an organisation’s APIs across environments. With a focus on runtime API protection, Traceable provides a comprehensive solution that continuously monitors API traffic, identifies vulnerabilities, and stops attacks before they cause damage. In a cloud-first, API-driven world, Traceable is the only contextually informed solution that powers complete API security, enabling organisations to minimise risk and maximise the value APIs bring to their customers.

On Secon’ partnership with Traceable, our CEO Robert Gupta said: “APIs are the backbone of digital innovation, but they’re also a growing target for attacks that exploit gaps in traditional security measures. Our partnership with Traceable brings our clients an API security solution that goes beyond simple protection – providing a robust, real-time defense that adapts with their needs. By combining Secon’s cyber security expertise with Traceable’s advanced technology, we’re ensuring that our clients can innovate with confidence and stay resilient in the face of evolving threats.

The majority of API security vendors focus only on one element of the API security challenge: API endpoint discovery. Traceable doesn’t believe full API security and runtime exploit protection can be accomplished through a point solution. Traceable provides four platform capabilities:
1) API Discovery and Security Posture Management.
2) Runtime API exploit protection, capable of detecting and blocking both known and unknown API attacks.
3) Security analytics designed to give you a rich set of security and application data for threat hunting and security optimisation.
4) API security testing, to eliminate the risk of vulnerable APIs in pre-prod.

Loukas Nikolaou, Traceable RVP International Sales states, “We’re eager to leverage Secon’s demonstrated leadership and expertise in the cybersecurity space to help enable our joint customers to detect and protect risk in their API security layer, improving their overall security posture.
