AppSentinels
Full-lifecycle API security: discovery, posture management, runtime protection, and behavioural threat detection for modern API-first stacks.
Where AppSentinels Fits in the Stack
AppSentinels delivers full-lifecycle API security across discovery, testing, posture management, and runtime protection. As enterprises shift to API-first architectures, APIs have become the largest unmonitored attack surface in most organisations.
Traditional WAFs cannot reason about business logic abuse, broken object-level authorisation (BOLA), or sequenced API attacks. AppSentinels uses behavioural ML to detect and block the OWASP API Top 10 in production.
For Microsoft, AWS, and GCP-hosted APIs — including those exposed by Copilot agents, mobile back-ends, and partner integrations — AppSentinels provides the discovery, testing, and runtime protection that satisfy modern API security requirements.
Platform Capabilities
- Continuous API discovery (managed, shadow, and zombie APIs)
- API posture management and configuration baselining
- Pre-production API security testing (OWASP API Top 10)
- Runtime protection against business logic and BOLA attacks
- Behavioural ML-based threat detection
- Native integration with API gateways, K8s, and CI/CD
How CriticalMatrix Uses AppSentinels
API Surface Discovery
We deploy AppSentinels to discover every API in your estate — including shadow and zombie APIs — and bring them under governance.
API Security Testing in CI/CD
We integrate AppSentinels into your pipelines to test APIs against the OWASP API Top 10 before they ever reach production.
Runtime API Protection
We deploy AppSentinels in front of mission-critical APIs to detect and block business-logic abuse, credential stuffing, and BOLA in real time.
Engagement Patterns
API Risk Assessment
A 3-4 week engagement to discover your API estate, baseline posture, and identify the highest-risk endpoints.
API Security Program Build-Out
An 8-12 week engagement to deploy AppSentinels across discovery, testing, and runtime, with policy tuning for your business logic.
Managed API Defence
Ongoing managed detection, posture monitoring, and quarterly API risk reviews using AppSentinels.
Measurable Outcomes
