In their own words
APISec Platform
APISec Platform is an application security tool for validating exploits against APIs and applications. It discovers applications, builds a dynamic model of their behavior, and runs attacker-like tests at runtime. The model can capture endpoints, parameters, authentication flows, roles, permissions, object ownership, and business logic without documentation or developer interviews. Tests cover business logic, data access, permissions, configuration, infrastructure, and controls such as injection and token handling. For validated exploits, the platform returns the request sequence, data reached, blast radius, replay, and a suggested resolution. APISec says it can find APIs across infrastructure, source, gateways, ingress and authentication paths, web apps, development tools, and CI/CD, as well as agents, MCP servers, and LLM call sites. Public APIs run against its cloud; private and on-premises APIs can use a Kubernetes or Docker container, while cloud deployments can run in a customer’s GCP, Azure, or AWS environment. The free plan covers public API testing and basic simulations. Standard costs $690 a month per 100 endpoints; Pro costs $2,750 a month per 100 endpoints.
