# Best API Security Tools - Page 2

  *By [Lauren Worth](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/lauren-worth)*

   API security tools protect information traveling through a company’s network via application programming interfaces (APIs). APIs serve a variety of purposes, such as adding functionality to applications, providing cloud services, and connecting networks. Companies use API security technologies to develop an inventory of existing API connections and ensure their security. These tools may additionally discover unknown or shadow APIs, which is a common scenario for companies using numerous APIs.

IT departments, software developers, and security professionals may use API security solutions to improve visibility for APIs, monitor their performance, and enforce strict security guidelines. As companies continuously discover new API connections, monitoring is key to ensuring optimum performance. Security enforcement is also important since many APIs contain sensitive data, which may turn into fines if left exposed. Lastly, many API security solutions include testing features. Testing APIs for security and policy enforcement may be the only way to verify an API’s security.

Some [API management platforms](https://www.g2.com/categories/api-management) provide tools to create an inventory of APIs connected to a network. However, this is only a feature-level functionality of the platform and will not provide substantial security functionality. It is not its most common use case.

To qualify for inclusion in the API Security Tools category, a product must:

- Discover and inventory the APIs connected to a network, application, or system
- Provide robust authentication mechanisms to restrict access to APIs and enable role-based access control (RBAC) to manage who can configure and modify API security settings
- Ensure that the data being sent to the API is encrypted, safe, and valid, and mitigate common threats such as DDoS attacks, replay attacks, and man-in-the-middle attacks
- Keep detailed logs of API access and activities to detect anomalies, monitor usage patterns, and support forensic investigations in case of security incidents
- Have comprehensive analytics and reporting capabilities to gain insights into API usage, performance, and security posture
- Perform security audits and vulnerability assessments to identify and address potential security risks
- Allow for testing and policy enforcement for API connections

### Proscan

Proscan is a unified application security platform designed to help organizations streamline the management of their security tools. By integrating multiple standalone solutions into a single cohesive experience, Proscan provides comprehensive security visibility across the entire software stack. This platform replaces the complexity of managing various tools for static analysis, dynamic testing, and dependency scanning, allowing teams to focus on building secure applications without the hassle of juggling disparate systems. The platform is particularly beneficial for security teams, developers, and engineering leaders who require a consolidated view of application security risks. Proscan combines nine specialized security scanners, including Static Application Security Testing (SAST), which analyzes source code in over 30 programming languages using advanced detection methods. Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) further enhances security by testing live applications, identifying vulnerabilities that may only become apparent during runtime. Additionally, Software Composition Analysis (SCA) evaluates open-source dependencies across 196 package ecosystems, helping organizations detect known vulnerabilities before they can impact production environments. Proscan's capabilities extend beyond code analysis. It includes scanning for hardcoded secrets, misconfigurations in Infrastructure-as-Code, and vulnerabilities in container images. The platform also offers API security testing that validates endpoints against the OWASP API Security Top 10, ensuring robust protection for applications that leverage APIs. For organizations developing AI-powered applications, Proscan features a dedicated AI and LLM security scanner that identifies potential risks associated with prompt injections and other vulnerabilities, utilizing over 4,600 techniques mapped to the OWASP LLM Top 10. Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in enhancing Proscan's efficiency and accuracy. The platform employs machine-learning algorithms to reduce false positives and prioritize vulnerabilities based on their potential impact. This intelligent approach allows teams to focus on the most critical security issues while providing clear explanations and actionable remediation guidance. Proscan integrates seamlessly into existing development workflows, offering IDE plugins and native CI/CD integrations that ensure security checks are part of the development process without causing disruptions. Compliance readiness is another key feature of Proscan, as it generates audit-ready reports aligned with major security standards, including OWASP Top 10, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. This automated evidence collection simplifies the compliance process, providing organizations with the necessary documentation in various formats. Proscan is designed for security teams looking to consolidate fragmented toolchains, developers needing quick feedback, and managed security service providers managing multiple client environments, making it a versatile solution for modern application security challenges.
