Salt Security has launched Autonomous Threat Hunting, a new capability integrated into its API Protection Platform. This innovation automates the investigative work of an expert SOC analyst to uncover the full narrative behind sophisticated API attacks that remain invisible to other tools. As APIs become the backbone of modern digital services, they present an increasingly attractive target for attackers who exploit an application’s unique business logic and mimic legitimate user behavior. Salt’s new Autonomous Threat Hunting capability closes the detection gap by identifying malicious intent hidden within seemingly benign API activity. It leverages advanced AI, machine learning, and deep contextual analysis to connect disparate API calls, surfacing coordinated attack campaigns that would otherwise go unnoticed. Key Benefits of Autonomous Threat Hunting Include: Uncover Complete Attack Campaigns: Detects sophisticated, low-and-slow attacks that evade traditional defenses by analyzing behavior over time and across sessions. Eliminate False Positives and Alert Fatigue: Reduces false positives by distinguishing between benign anomalies and truly malicious activity, allowing teams to focus on real threats. Safeguard Against Business Logic Abuse: Identifies abuse of API functionality that could lead to data exfiltration, fraud, or unauthorized access. Stop Novel and Zero-Day Attacks: Learns from each organization’s unique API usage patterns to detect novel threats without relying on signatures.
