APIs are the backbone of modern apps, but they also introduce some serious security risks. Attackers are constantly on the lookout for vulnerable APIs, shadow APIs, zombie APIs, and exposed sensitive data—all of which are tough to track if you don’t have the right tools in place.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with CrowdStrike to make API security easier, faster, and more powerful than ever. The Salt Foundry App, built specifically for and certified on the CrowdStrike Falcon platform, lets you collect API inventory in less than five minutes—without complex setup or extra overhead.
API Attacks Are On the Rise—Here’s Why That Matters
Think APIs aren’t a major security concern? Think again.
- 53% of organizations manage over 1,000 APIs (Salt’s Q1 2025 State of API Report)
- 99% of security teams experienced an API security incident in 2024 (Salt’s Q1 2025 State of API Report)
APIs aren’t just a risk—they’re one of the biggest attack surfaces organizations face today. Traditional security tools just aren’t built to discover APIs, track exposures, or stop attacks before they happen.
Salt Security + CrowdStrike: A Game-Changer for API Security
We didn’t just integrate with CrowdStrike—we built the first-ever API security Foundry app inside the Falcon platform that delivers:
- Instant API Discovery – No more blind spots. Inventory every API in your environment within minutes
- Real-Time Threat Protection – Detect and block API attacks using Salt’s API intelligence + CrowdStrike Falcon’s NG-SIEM & firewall management.
- Super-Fast Deployment – Deploy the Salt API sensor via the Foundry App in under 5 minutes—no extra agents or manual configs required.
- Seamless Integration – Get full API security while staying within your existing CrowdStrike Falcon workflows.
