Astra Api

Astra continuously discovers and scans your APIs for over 10,000+ vulnerabilities

API Discovery

Discover API endpoints that even your developers would have forgotten about. Gain continuous visibility into all APIs across your entire infrastructure. Hackers don’t limit their search to documented APIs—neither should your security tools.

Detect Zombie APIs

Uncover unmaintained or forgotten APIs which become easy targets for attackers looking for vulnerabilities in neglected endpoints.

Reveal Shadow APIs

Identify hidden or undocumented APIs in your infrastructure that operate without monitoring, tracking, or proper authorization.

Uncover Orphan APIs

Spot documented APIs deployed in your environment that aren't receiving any traffic, indicating potential inefficiencies or unused attack surfaces.

Prevent Sensitive Data Exposure

Identify APIs handling PII, tokens, and sensitive data that may be vulnerable to breaches, allowing you to address risks before they lead to leaks.

Continuous Security Scanning of APIsContinuous Security Scanning of APIs

Continuous Security Scanning of APIs

Automatically scan every new or modified API in your infrastructure for vulnerabilities. By integrating continuous security into your development cycle, you can proactively shift from DevOps to DevSecOps.

API Vulnerability Scans in your CI/CD

Sync API scanning with your code deployment cycles. Run in-depth automated scans against your APIs right from your CI/CD to catch vulnerabilities before they reach production.

scan spec filesScan Spec Files

Scan Spec Files

Simply upload your Postman collections, GraphQL schemas, OpenAPI specs, or JSON files, and Astra will learn from your API structure and draw vulnerability insights.

Incremental API Tests

Whenever an API is updated or changed, Astra performs delta security scans to ensure new changes haven’t introduced vulnerabilities, keeping your APIs secure with each iteration.

How does Astra’s API Security Platform integrate into existing systems like OpenTelemetry, WAFs, and AWS/GCP setups?

Astra’s API Security Platform supports a wide range of infrastructure setups, including Nginx, AWS (ECS on Fargate, API Gateway), GCP (Apigee, load balancers), and other environments. It seamlessly integrates with observability tools like OpenTelemetry for metrics and traces and works with Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) to analyze traffic and identify potential threats.

How does Astra’s API Security Platform support API documentation and testing workflows with tools like Postman, Burp Suite, or curl?

Astra supports tools like Postman collections, Burp Suite, and curl for API inventory setup and testing. While Astra doesn’t directly integrate with OpenAPI spec files, it can consume them to enhance API inventory and perform risk classification. For clients not using these tools, Astra offers alternative approaches, such as reverse proxy instrumentation, to streamline API onboarding and security workflows.

How does Astra ensure data protection in compliance-heavy industries like healthcare and insurance?

Astra adheres to data protection best practices, such as encryption, API field redaction, and compliance mapping to SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR standards. The platform provides co-branded reports that highlight security measures for audits.

How does Astra calculate risk scores, and how do they correlate with CVSS?

Astra’s risk scoring model is based on a combination of factors such as API exposure, endpoint sensitivity, and exploitability. These scores are mapped to CVSS standards for consistency, enabling security teams to prioritize remediation efforts.

Can Astra perform penetration tests on staging or development environments?

Yes, penetration testing can be conducted in staging, dev, or production environments. Clients are encouraged to share environment details during setup to ensure testing conditions mimic real-world scenarios.

How does Astra handle Shadow, Orphan, and Zombie APIs?

Astra’s API Security Platform prioritizes the detection of sensitive information (e.g., PII, PHI) during scans, flagging potential exposure and ensuring compliance with security and privacy standards. It analyzes API responses to identify sensitive data patterns and classify associated risks.

In addition, Astra detects and categorizes API risks as part of its inventory scans:

  • Shadow APIs: APIs that are publicly accessible but not documented.
  • Orphan APIs: APIs that are no longer actively receiving traffic.
  • Zombie APIs: Deprecated APIs that are still in use.

With continuous monitoring, Astra updates the API inventory in real-time, flags these risks, and assigns them a risk score to help prioritize mitigation.

Can specific fields like medical conditions or PII be redacted at a granular level?

Yes, Astra allows field-level redaction based on regex patterns. Parameters or fields can also be configured for redaction directly in the dashboard or through API endpoints, ensuring sensitive data remains protected.

Are reports customizable, and do they include vulnerabilities and mitigation steps?

Reports can be customized, including co-branded options for partners. They highlight identified vulnerabilities, risk posture, and mitigation steps. Clients can access these details via PDF reports or the dashboard.

 Is pricing based on the number of API requests or endpoints?

Astra’s pricing is typically based on the number of API endpoints monitored. For high-traffic organizations, custom pricing models can be discussed to ensure scalability.

What features and integrations are planned for the future?

The roadmap includes advanced integrations with API gateways like AWS API Gateway, Apigee, and Azure Front Door and Kong. Additional features like custom redaction, openAPI spec export, and risk observation are also in the pipeline.
