apPosture API Security

apPosture API Security inventories API endpoints, assigns risk priorities, and compares declared API contracts with running APIs. Its risk verdict combines whether an endpoint is public, handles sensitive data, and lacks provable authentication. Endpoint labels distinguish code-and-runtime provenance, source-only findings, and runtime-only observations. Discovery uses SAST attack-maps, DAST crawling, an attached OpenAPI specification, and external subdomain probing; listed coverage includes OpenAPI import, GraphQL, gRPC, HTTP/2, h2c, and REST. Teams can diff an OpenAPI specification against running endpoints to identify documented, shadow, declared-untested, and auth-drift states. Runtime correlation ingests existing access logs out of band rather than inline in the request path. The product supports API-scoped compliance across seven frameworks and SARIF export. It can run self-hosted, in a customer's cloud, or as a dedicated managed instance; self-hosted deployment uses a local LLM and needs no outbound connections after setup. The listed Essentials plan is $35 a year, billed at $35 / dev · mo annually, with a $2,000 / year minimum; API Security is an additional $15 / dev · mo. Platform is $70 a year, billed at $70 / dev · mo annually, with a $4,000 / year minimum. Enterprise is $90 a year, billed at $90 / dev · mo annually, with a $7,500 / year minimum. There is no free tier; each edition starts with the same 30-day proof of concept.
