Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) represent critical components in today's software development landscape, accelerating product launches and enriching the user experience. However, this shift toward a more decentralized application architecture amplifies the complexity and importance of API security: currently, API calls make up more than 80 percent of Internet traffic, highlighting their central role in digital communication. Given their crucial role in facilitating data exchange and communication between systems, APIs often become major targets of cyber-attacks and, in the absence of robust security measures, they are exposed to significant vulnerabilities, with potential financial, operational, legal and reputational consequences resulting from exposure of sensitive data, system breaches or disruption of services.
The innovative algorithms designed by Equixly use a Machine Learning model trained in-house on a database of logical and technical vulnerabilities.
The SaaS (Software as a Service) platform integrates into the software development lifecycle, enabling the detection of security vulnerabilities during development. This is done through an automated and highly efficient process that saves both time and resources.
The innovation lies in the proactive approach to security that, unlike traditional solutions based on a reactive (attack response) model, actively prevents threats, before they can cause damage, by leveraging machine learning techniques to anticipate and enable programmers to secure code before malicious acts occur.
This approach is a game changer in the API security landscape, which is currently based on manual testing activities that, in addition to being time-consuming, do not cover the vast perimeters of APIs and expose companies to the risk of human error.  Equixly's solution offers users a simple and intuitive experience that provides near-real-time visibility on bugs to developers and eliminates the need for lengthy onboarding processes, thanks to a quick and easy integration process.
The solution is particularly beneficial for all those entities that frequently update their applications or for organizations with multiple departments. Equixly has cross-industry applicability in all sectors that use networked applications, including online sales, social media, cloud platforms, health care, finance, and banking.
Currently, the solution is used by 15 enterprise customers, operating in the automotive, energy, banking, telecommunications, and IT consulting sectors.
