In today’s hyper-connected digital landscape, APIs are the lifeblood of innovation, powering everything from customer experiences to internal operations. However, with this growing reliance on APIs comes a dark side—zombie and shadow APIs. These hidden, forgotten, or undocumented endpoints present significant security risks that traditional approaches simply can’t address.

In API security, organizations frequently encounter a tough decision: whether to opt for the flexibility and scalability of a SaaS solution or the data control and privacy of an on-premises deployment. Salt Security's hybrid deployment option provides a solution that combines the advantages of a SaaS solution with the assurance of data privacy, offering the best of both worlds for organizations.
