We are pleased to announce today that we have added a new product to the AppCheck line up: Dedicated API Scanning.

AppCheck has supported scanning API end points since around 2016. However, the way APIs are deployed and developed has changed and with APIs now making up roughly 61% of internet traffic companies cannot afford to overlook robust security testing in this area. We have seen shortcomings in the approach to testing these services, with many methods resulting in rubbish in, rubbish out and an overall lack of visibility.

With AppCheck’s new dedicated API scanning tools, you can ensure you are getting complete coverage through complex authentication flows, client certificates, ToTP AWS request signing and automatic authentication support for larger security teams.

And that’s not all. With many modern APIs – if you fail to get a good request to start with – you can send as many payloads as you like to an application and likely get nowhere. With AppCheck, as well as fixture data mining for a good request, our platform supports parameter mining to match up real application data from your APIs into the correct parameter in the request to ensure it is fully tested; offering complete coverage.

Discover how AppCheck’s dedicated API scanning can ensure complete coverage for your APIs. Visit our API Security Scanning page to learn more and request a free trial: appcheck-ng.com/api-security-scanning/.
