API Detection & Response.

Detect quickly and respond effectively. Protect your organization by detecting and responding to unauthorized API calls, malicious activities, and API-related security threats in real time.

API security, real-time protection

Detect and respond to threats quickly across your entire API ecosystem.

Real-time API threat detection

FireTail establishes behavior baselines and monitors for deviations that could indicate a threat. From spikes in sensitive data access to unusual geolocations, FireTail flags risky activities before they escalate, adapting to your environment for improved accuracy over time.

Automated response

Trigger automated actions based on detected risks, such as alerting, blocking suspicious activities, or rate-limiting. Policies can be customized based on risk levels, specific APIs, or user groups to ensure fast, automated containment with minimal disruption.

No more false positives

Unlike systems that rely solely on heuristics, FireTail lets you activate or build the detections that matter most. With a unified log stream and powerful filters, you can opt into relevant rules and scope them by API, cloud account, or workload. Get targeted alerts, without the noise.

Full API activity monitoring

FireTail continuously tracks all API activity, providing full visibility into every request, including metadata like IP addresses, headers, and payloads. Detect unusual behavior, identify malicious actors, and act quickly to mitigate risks before they become major incidents.

“The ability to build targeted detections really cuts down on false positives and the risk of alert fatigue.”

Effective API detection and response.

APIs are a prime target for attackers

APIs are the backbone of modern software ecosystems, but they also introduce significant security risks. APIs are often targeted by malicious actors due to their broad access to sensitive data and backend systems. Without effective monitoring and response systems, organizations face the threat of data breaches, unauthorized access, and exploitation of vulnerabilities. Furthermore, API misconfigurations or undocumented endpoints may leave security gaps, which can be exploited for malicious purposes. As organizations scale and integrate more APIs into their infrastructure, managing and securing these APIs becomes a critical challenge

FireTail delivers proactive API threat detection

FireTail provides real-time monitoring and advanced analytics to detect API threats as they emerge. By analyzing traffic patterns, behaviors, and contextual data, FireTail can quickly identify risks such as unauthorized access, exposed endpoints, and bot-driven attacks. With clear, actionable insights, your team can respond instantly to mitigate potential breaches.FireTail’s unified log stream provides the basis for building and executing detections of attacks, data leakages and more in your API traffic. FireTail detects the top risks out of the box, but also allows customers to apply scoping and custom response rules.A user-friendly filter system is provided, allowing your team to choose scoping, indicators, thresholds and more to build targeted custom detections for your organization’s top risk factors.

Reduce security risks and improve response time

FireTail enables faster detection and response to API threats, reducing the time it takes to identify and mitigate risks. By continuously monitoring API activity, it minimizes your attack surface by uncovering vulnerabilities and misconfigurations before they can be exploited. FireTail enhances incident management with actionable insights, improving cross-team collaboration between security and engineering. It also helps ensure compliance with key regulations like GDPR, providing continuous protection and visibility across your API environment.
