Wallarm announced the early release of the Wallarm API Leak Management solution, an enhanced API security technology designed to help organizations identify and remediate attacks exploiting leaked API keys and secrets, while providing on-going protection against hacks in the event of a leak.

Wallarm developed the API Leak Management solution to automatically discover leaked API keys and secrets, implement controls to block their use, and protect against any follow-on attacks. This prevents unauthorized access to sensitive data within enterprise companies while protecting their internal operations and end customers from unauthorized use of that data.

“API keys and secrets are an essential part of enterprise applications, but they are also a common target for attackers since they provide direct access to the data and infrastructure,” said Ivan Novikov, CEO and Co-founder of Wallarm. “Our API Leak Management solution allows enterprise customers to automatically detect and block the use of leaked API keys, providing an additional layer of security for their data to reduce organizational risk."

Locating and revoking API keys in a timely manner is both time-consuming and resource-intensive, so Wallarm’s proactive API leak management solution prioritizes automated detection, remediation, and control through a three-prong approach:

- Detect. Wallarm automatically scans public sources for leaked API secrets, which hackers can find and abuse in less than 1 minute.

- Remediate. Wallarm immediately blocks requests using compromised API secrets across the entire API portfolio, regardless of protocol.

- Control. Wallarm also continuously tracks and blocks any subsequent use of leaked API secrets.

The Wallarm API Leak Management solution is integrated with other Wallarm capabilities, including API Discovery, API Threat Prevention, and Cloud-Native WAAP. Customers get full-spectrum visibility, detection, and protection for their entire web application and API portfolio, regardless of protocol or environment, via the Wallarm API Security Platform. This reduces tool sprawl and cost while improving risk management and supporting innovation.
