New Kasada Solution Protects Web and Mobile APIs from Automated Botnet Attacks and Targeted Fraud
Kasada API Bridges The Gap Between Application Developers And Security With Simple Deployment And Long-Term Efficacy
Kasada, provider of the only online traffic integrity solution that accurately detects and defends against bot attacks, today announced the introduction of Kasada API, which protects an organization’s web and mobile application programming interfaces (APIs) from automated botnet attacks and targeted fraud. If left unprotected, an organization’s most sensitive API endpoints (i.e. authentication, account creation, and handling sensitive data) can be quickly exploited by attackers, giving them a direct path into the organization.

Gartner predicts that by 2022, API abuses will be the most frequent attack vector, given their criticality in cloud-native web, mobile app, and SaaS applications. Protecting APIs can be challenging, not just because of their ubiquity, but also because they are created and used by both technical and non-technical application developers within an organization, meaning security teams don’t always have full visibility into everything in use.

“Today’s users need to stay vigilant in their approach to protecting their most valuable assets, including customers, brand, and intellectual property,” said Kasada CEO Pascal Podvin. “By delivering Kasada API, we are providing our customers with a holistic line of defense that not only mitigates current attacks but also deters future ones.”
Understanding that APIs are vulnerable, attackers use emulators, simulators, and direct HTTP requests to launch attacks including credential stuffing, web scraping and application DDoS. Kasada API, delivered as a cloud-based service, has a simple deployment model and can be implemented quickly, protecting APIs with long-term efficacy from the very first request. It helps to decrease operating costs, maintains a frictionless customer experience, and most importantly, allows an organization’s developers to continue innovating rapidly using APIs.
