Salt Security, Noname Security, Traceable (Traceable AI), Imperva, F5 (Distributed Cloud WAAP), Cloudflare, Akamai, Cequence Security, 42Crunch, and Akto.io are among the ten major companies shaping the API security market with complementary strengths in discovery, posture management, runtime protection, and developer-focused testing. Salt Security is widely recognized for an AI-driven, agentless platform that creates large behavioral baselines from API traffic to uncover business-logic flaws and API abuse across the full lifecycle. Noname Security packages discovery, posture management, runtime protection, and active testing into a single-pane platform that emphasizes proactive vulnerability detection and remediation across production and pre-production environments. Traceable delivers full-lifecycle API security by combining traffic-driven behavioral analytics, payload-based testing, and runtime telemetry to identify and exploitation chains and anomalous flows that signature tools miss. Imperva brings a mature, enterprise-grade offering that integrates API discovery and schema enforcement with cloud WAF and global threat intelligence to detect and block OWASP API Top 10 issues and large-scale attacks. F5’s Distributed Cloud WAAP integrates next-generation WAF capabilities with API discovery and a positive security model that enforces learned or imported API specifications to protect against known and unknown threats at scale. Cloudflare leverages its global edge network and API Gateway features—mutual TLS, schema validation, rate limiting, and bot mitigation—to deliver low-latency protection and DDoS-resistant API shielding for cloud-native and high-throughput deployments. Akamai’s API Security extends edge protection to APIs with anomaly detection, posture insights, and distributed enforcement enabled by its massive CDN footprint, making it attractive for large, geographically distributed enterprises. Cequence Security focuses on behavioral AI and bot/fraud mitigation, using unified API protection to detect sophisticated attacks such as BOLA (Broken Object Level Authorization) and automated abuse while providing flexible response controls and deployment formats for regulated industries. 42Crunch targets shift-left API security with automated OpenAPI/Swagger contract auditing, developer-focused quality gates, and CI/CD integrations that prevent insecure API design from reaching production. Akto.io has emerged as a high-performance API scanning and continuous testing vendor with a large test repository and strong emphasis on discovery, automated tests, and integration into DevSecOps pipelines to find logic, auth, and data-exposure issues early and continuously. These ten vendors collectively represent the market’s move toward full-lifecycle coverage—automatic discovery and inventory, specification and posture validation, automated and active testing, runtime behavioral detection, and integrated remediation workflows—each balancing edge, cloud, or developer-centric approaches to match different enterprise architectures and risk profiles.
