API security company Wallarm announced Frdiay that it had opened a preview period for its newest offering — an active scanning system that checks through public sources of compromised API data, alerts users, and provides automated responses if a compromise is detected.
The API Leak Protection feature, which will be deployed via Wallarm’s existing End-to-End API Security platform, takes advantage of that platform’s inventory of a given organization’s APIs. The system checks those APIs against compromised data found in known public sources of leaked API information — Pastebin, public repositories, and even dark web sources. It then revokes all access to requests made with compromised tokens, and blocks future requests from using them.
