SAST is a commonly used application security (AppSec) tool which identifies and helps remediate underlying the root cause of security vulnerabilities. SAST tools do not need a system to be running to perform a scan because they analyze web applications from the inside out.

Dynamic application security testing (DAST) is an automated security testing technique that is used to identify vulnerabilities in web applications. The best DAST tools simulate various types of attacks to detect security vulnerabilities and test a broad spectrum of endpoints including hidden values. By simulating malicious attacks on an application, automated DAST security tools can help identify outcomes that are far outside typical user experience.

James Robinson, Deputy CISO at Netskope, shares how his team partnered with Noname Security to inventory their entire API estate and secure it from malicious attacks.

For this inaugural episode of our Public Sector Podcast, we had the pleasure of hosting Chris Cleary, Principal Cyber Advisor for the Dept. of the Navy. Tune in as he and our very own Dean Phillips, Executive Director at Noname Security Public Sector, discuss the evolving threat landscape for government agencies, the role of Zero Trust frameworks, as well as how API security will be instrumental in their journey.

Noname Security Runtime Protection detects and blocks API attacks with real-time traffic analysis, out-of-band monitoring, and workflow integrations to increase SOC effectiveness.

Noname Security Active Testing is a purpose-built API security testing solution that understands your unique business logic and provides comprehensive coverage of API-specific vulnerabilities. Active Testing helps you shift left and bake API security testing into every phase of development.

Noname provides wider visibility and deeper insights: finds APIs, domains, and related issues from both inside and outside the your network perimeter. Use intelligent data classification and context-aware analysis to create the most accurate and complete inventories of all your APIs, including rogue APIs, zombie APIs, and shadow APIs.

Noname Security Posture Management analyzes your APIs and broader infrastructure for misconfigurations and vulnerabilities to identify potential risks and understand their true attack surface.

Learn what microservices are, how they help improve application functionality, and enable developers to easily create and maintain software applications.

In a nutshell, the API gateway accepts API calls and aggregates the requests to the various required services. It serves as a bridge between internally used web unfriendly protocols and web protocols that users understand. Though API gateways provide basic API security controls, they unfortunately are not enough to adequately protect your business from API specific threats.
