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

Discovering dormant and zombie APIs is such an underrated capability. Most companies don't realize how dangerous they are until it's late. The offensive DAST approach makes this feel proactive rather than just compliance-driven.
Astra Security
@anthony_adams_ Couldn’t agree more. Dormant and zombie APIs are the ones that slip under the radar until something breaks or worse, gets exploited. We kept hearing that pain from teams, which is why discovery was step one. Pairing that with offensive DAST was intentional- we wanted to move beyond “check-the-box compliance” and actually help teams stay ahead of attackers.
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?
Astra Security
@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.

Thank you @harshmanwani 🙌🏻
Really interesting. So many tools say they do API security but barely scratch the surface. Offensive-style testing on live traffic feels like the right approach.
Astra Security
@piyushnaik Correct, live traffic tells the truth that surface checks can’t
Astra goes beyond surface-level API security discovering undocumented, shadow, zombie, and dormant APIs through real-time traffic analysis. Then it hits them with 15,000+ offensive DAST test cases, far beyond the OWASP Top 10. Total visibility, serious protection.
Astra Security
@vivek_sharma_25 Love the way you put that 🙌 that’s exactly what we’ve been aiming for. Most tools stop at OWASP Top 10 checks, but real-world attackers don’t. That’s why we built Astra to go deeper: discover what’s really running in your environment and stress-test it with offensive scenarios that mimic how attackers think. Total visibility was the goal from day one.
The shadow API angle caught my attention. I had a security incident recently because of one. Offensive scanning feels like a strong differentiator. Does it prioritize remediation guidance too or mainly detection?
Astra Security
@udhay_yadav Sorry to hear about that incident. Shadow APIs are painful because they only show up when it’s too late. You’re right, detection alone isn’t enough. That’s why alongside the offensive testing, Astra gives step-by-step remediation guidance mapped to each finding as well as an AI-powered remediation chatbot. The goal is to help teams not just surface issues, but actually fix them fast without slowing down dev cycles.
