Astra API Security Platform - Discover, Scan, and Secure every API at scale
Astra API Security Platform discovers every undocumented, shadow, zombie & dormant API in your infrastructure using real-time traffic analysis and performs offensive DAST scans on the APIs with 15,000+ test cases, which go beyond just OWASP API Top 10

Astra feels like the watchdog every modern API stack needs. I love how it doesn’t just stop at the OWASP Top 10 but goes deeper with 15,000+ test cases, that’s serious offensive security. Astra basically shines a flashlight into every dark corner of your infrastructure and then stress-tests it for you.

@istiakahmad Exactly! I am stealing "watchdog" & "shines a flashlight" for my future pitches. Thank you 😁

Sounds very useful. Can we connect it to AWS API gateway?
Astra Security
@sagar_soni5 Yes! We offer an easy integration with AWS API gateway.

Discovering dormant and zombie APIs is such an underrated capability. Most companies don't realize how dangerous they are until it's late. The offensive DAST approach makes this feel proactive rather than just compliance-driven.
Astra Security
@anthony_adams_ Couldn’t agree more. Dormant and zombie APIs are the ones that slip under the radar until something breaks or worse, gets exploited. We kept hearing that pain from teams, which is why discovery was step one. Pairing that with offensive DAST was intentional- we wanted to move beyond “check-the-box compliance” and actually help teams stay ahead of attackers.
API security feels overwhelming at scale. The way it combines real traffic analysis with testing seems practical. I'd love to hear how it integrates with existing DevSecOps pipelines and CI/CD workflows.
Astra Security
@alice_goode You’re absolutely right! API security can feel like a mountain at scale, which is why we focused on making it practical and usable. Right now, the platform plugs into your traffic sources and observability stack for continuous discovery and testing.
For CI/CD, our PTaaS and Web App DAST already support those workflows, and bringing that same pipeline integration into the API Security Platform is on our immediate roadmap. The idea is to let security checks run as seamlessly as your builds, no extra steps for devs.

I think focusing on undocumented APIs is key. Those often hide the most vulnerabilities. The 15,000+ test cases make me wonder: does it continuously update the library as new attack vectors emerge?
Astra Security
@gabor_kriston Spot on! Undocumented APIs are where teams usually get blindsided. And yes, the test library isn’t static. We’re continuously updating it as new attack vectors and patterns emerge, so it grows beyond the 15,000+ cases you see today. The idea is to keep pace with how attackers evolve, not just ship a one-time ruleset.

Thank you @harshmanwani 🙌🏻
Really interesting. So many tools say they do API security but barely scratch the surface. Offensive-style testing on live traffic feels like the right approach.
Astra Security
@piyushnaik Correct, live traffic tells the truth that surface checks can’t
