Features Comparison

Traceable Application & API Security Platform

  • API Discovery & Posture Management

    Automatically discover every API from live production traffic including REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, and WebSocket. Identifies shadow, zombie, and orphaned APIs with continuous risk assessment.

  • Runtime WAAP Protection

    Cloud-native WAF and API protection against OWASP Top 10, OWASP API Top 10, SQL injection, XSS, and application-layer attacks with behavioral ML detection.

  • API Security Testing (AST)

    Zero-config security tests generated from real and replayed traffic. Integrated with CI/CD pipelines for automated pre-production vulnerability discovery. No inactive endpoint noise.

  • Bot Protection

    Advanced bot detection using behavioral analysis, volumetric detection, browser/device anomaly detection, and custom policies. Distinguishes legitimate bots from malicious automation.

  • DDoS Protection

    Mitigates large-scale traffic floods and application-layer DDoS attacks with rate limiting and anomaly-based detection.

  • Sensitive Data Discovery

    Automatically identify API endpoints handling sensitive data (PII, financial, regulated) without appropriate authentication or zero-trust policies.

  • AI-Powered Insights

    AI chatbot for natural-language queries about APIs, threats, and exposures. AI explains detected issues, assesses severity, and recommends remediation in developer-friendly language.

  • WAF Integration

    Integrates with existing WAFs (AWS WAF, Cloudflare) to add API context and advanced threat detection without replacing your current security stack.

Wallarm API Security Platform

  • API Discovery

    Automatically discover and inventory all APIs with visibility into sensitive data flows and business-critical endpoints.

  • API Abuse Prevention

    Patented AI/ML detection for sophisticated API abuse, credential stuffing, and account takeover attacks.

  • Cloud-Native WAAP

    Web application and API protection deployable across any environment with single-day implementation.

  • Security Testing

    Integrated DAST and automated fuzzing to proactively identify vulnerabilities in APIs and applications.

  • API Attack Surface Management

    Agentless discovery of external API hosts, missing WAF coverage, vulnerabilities, and API leaks.

  • Agentic AI Protection

    Specialized protection for AI-powered applications and agentic AI systems.
