Astra API Security Platform - Discover, Scan, and Secure every API at scale
by•
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

Orphan APIs is a silent problem. I like the product idea. And your UI is sleek.
Congrats on the launch!
Thank you @michael_vavilov 🙌🏻
@abhishek_krishnan5 Congrats! The AI-powered logic testing part sounds super useful, shadow and orphan APIs are such a headache for most teams. How does Astra keep up when new APIs pop up or old ones get deprecated? Does it catch changes automatically, or do teams need to nudge it?
@lina_huchok Thank you! 🙌 You’re spot on, shadow and orphan APIs are one of the biggest sources of “hidden risk.”
Astra keeps an up-to-date inventory automatically. We plug into your infra via gateways, load balancers, cloud services and observability pipelines like OpenTelemetry, so whenever a new API shows up or an old one goes dark, it’s picked up without you needing to manually update anything.
Congrats on the launch. Astra API Security looks like a powerhouse for uncovering hidden APIs and securing them at scale. Love that you’re going beyond the OWASP API Top 10 with such a wide range of test cases that’s a big win for compliance and peace of mind. Wishing you huge success ahead.
Thank you so much! 🙌 @priyankamandal
APIs are everywhere, and security often gets left behind. Great to see a platform tackling shadow and zombie APIs head-on. Big win for dev teams, congrats!
Thank you @kate_ramakaieva 🙌🏻
Hey there! 🚀 Astra API Security Platform sounds like a game-changer for anyone dealing with the complexities of API management. Love how it proactively addresses risks with real-time traffic analysis and AI. It's encouraging to see a dedicated tool for a often-overlooked area. Great work! 🙌
Thanks a lot! 🙌 @alex_cloudstar
Thank you @suhasmotwani 🙌🏻
Astra feels like the watchdog every modern API stack needs. I love how it doesn’t just stop at the OWASP Top 10 but goes deeper with 15,000+ test cases, that’s serious offensive security. Astra basically shines a flashlight into every dark corner of your infrastructure and then stress-tests it for you.
@istiakahmad Exactly! I am stealing "watchdog" & "shines a flashlight" for my future pitches. Thank you 😁
Sounds very useful. Can we connect it to AWS API gateway?
@sagar_soni5 Yes! We offer an easy integration with AWS API gateway.

API security feels overwhelming at scale. The way it combines real traffic analysis with testing seems practical. I'd love to hear how it integrates with existing DevSecOps pipelines and CI/CD workflows.
@alice_goode You’re absolutely right! API security can feel like a mountain at scale, which is why we focused on making it practical and usable. Right now, the platform plugs into your traffic sources and observability stack for continuous discovery and testing.
For CI/CD, our PTaaS and Web App DAST already support those workflows, and bringing that same pipeline integration into the API Security Platform is on our immediate roadmap. The idea is to let security checks run as seamlessly as your builds, no extra steps for devs.
I think focusing on undocumented APIs is key. Those often hide the most vulnerabilities. The 15,000+ test cases make me wonder: does it continuously update the library as new attack vectors emerge?
@gabor_kriston Spot on! Undocumented APIs are where teams usually get blindsided. And yes, the test library isn’t static. We’re continuously updating it as new attack vectors and patterns emerge, so it grows beyond the 15,000+ cases you see today. The idea is to keep pace with how attackers evolve, not just ship a one-time ruleset.
