API security and bot management specialist Cequence announced multiple machine learning (ML)-driven enhancements to its Unified API Protection (UAP) platform at the RSA Conference. With this announcement, Cequence plans to introduce her ML-based security capabilities, a new approach to digital asset protection in the age of artificial intelligence (AI).
The security tools provided are primarily designed to automatically identify anomalous or malicious traffic patterns, create rules and models, and create instant policies to quickly mitigate threats. This not only ensures continuous protection, but also stays active during off-peak hours. Additionally, the system significantly reduces analyst workload through automation. All data processing tasks are up to 90% faster, saving you about an hour each time.
Ameya Talwalkar, CEO of Cequence, highlighted the escalating nature of API threats and the increasing pressure on CISOs and software engineering leaders to better defend against AI-powered attacks. . Talwalkar claims, “Our industry-leading innovations in ML-based security capabilities have set a new standard for protecting against evolving threats to applications and their APIs.” He also reaffirmed Cequence's commitment to providing innovative solutions that can navigate the complexities of API security and bot management in a landscape where AI-driven adversarial tactics become increasingly prominent.
The UAP product suite upgrade is said to represent a significant change in API security. These improvements provide unparalleled visibility, streamlined testing, and autonomous threat mitigation to help organizations protect their API infrastructure with confidence. In addition, Cequence's solution provides automatic discovery of API management status, customizable security testing, and ML-driven threat detection and mitigation.
Additionally, Cequence enhances automated threat detection and mitigation with the latest advancements. It incorporates automatic generation of rules, models, and policies to provide an efficient ML-assisted enabled system and enhanced parallel threat hunting that enables simultaneous threat hunting activity across multiple API endpoints.
The company has similarly improved its customized API discovery and bespoke API security testing. The latter includes bespoke API security test plans, flexible authentication profile configuration to test APIs with different user personas and permissions, and adaptable test cases to generate diverse attack traffic profiles for each API group. It is included.
Venky Ganesan, Partner at Menlo Ventures, emphasized the importance of Cequence's innovative technology, saying, “With APIs at the forefront of modern business applications, Cequence's capabilities such as real-time attack detection and discovery of AI applications Innovative technology is critical to addressing issues such as: Challenges posed by developing and using distributed APIs. ”
Carlos Morales, Vercara's senior vice president of solutions, expressed the company's pleasure in partnering with Cequence. “Cequence's technology with new advanced ML capabilities enables organizations to proactively protect their digital assets. UltraAPI, Vercara's new API security service powered by Cequence, is a market-leading It is a perfect complement to our DDoS, WAF, and DNS platforms to protect our customers' online presence.”
