Astra API Security Platform discovers every undocumented, shadow, zombie & dormant API in your infrastructure using real-time traffic analysis and performs offensive DAST scans on the APIs with 15,000+ test cases, which go beyond just OWASP API Top 10
👋 Hey PH fam, we’re excited to introduce Astra API Security Platform 🚀
👉 What it is
Astra is a purpose-built API security platform that helps teams discover, scan, and secure every API in their environment—shadow, dormant, undocumented, and everything in between.
👉 Who it’s for & use cases
Security-conscious engineering teams who need visibility into their growing API sprawl
CISOs & CXOs looking to prevent breaches and rollout delays caused by API security issues
Developers building AI agents, apps, and services who want to ensure no data leaks or auth flaws creep in
👉 Why it’s different
Unlike generic scanners, Astra is built for APIs first. It goes beyond spec checks with real-time traffic analysis and AI-powered logic testing—catching risks like BOLA, IDOR, PII exposure, and shadow APIs before attackers do.
👉 Key Features
🔍 Auto-discovers APIs with live traffic analysis
🧪 15,000+ DAST test cases (OWASP API Top 10, auth flaws, BOLA, IDOR, etc.)
🕵️ Detects zombie, shadow, orphan APIs missed in docs
🤖 AI-powered logic testing for real-world risks
📦 Integrations with AWS, GCP, Azure, Nginx, Postman & Burp Suite
🔒 Detects secret leaks & PII exposures
⚡ Supports REST, GraphQL, internal, and mobile APIs with flexible SaaS deployment
APIs are the #1 starting point for breaches today—don’t let blind spots cost you.
