GARTNER HYPE CYCLE FOR APPLICATION SECURITY 2020

The evolution of applications and increased adoption of APIs has changed the game for application security.

Because APIs are used to drive revenue, deliver critical services, and carry sensitive data, the impact of an API breach can be substantial — impacting your customers, brand reputation, and bottom line.

Gartner points to API threat protection with a high benefit rating, citing mission-critical business impacts.

This research looks into the security implications of modern API-based applications, why traditional security approaches are not enough, and the critical components you need in your security solution to ensure your APIs, applications, and data are protected.

This report also names Salt Security as a Sample Vendor in API Threat Protection. Salt Security was also named in the recent Gartner Cool Vendor in API Strategy 2020.
