Ping Identity, the provider of Identity Defined Security, announced the general availability of PingIntelligence for APIs, following its acquisition of Elastic Beam. The AI-powered solution is part of the Ping identity platform and brings an increased level of intelligence into how APIs are accessed and used to protect API infrastructures from cyberattacks, while also delivering deep insight into API activities.
“APIs are proliferating throughout all organisations faster than security teams can keep up with them. While APIs benefit digital transformation initiatives, they also are the gateway to everything of value and that has made them a major target for cyber-attacks,” explained Bernard Harguindeguy, SVP, Intelligence at Ping Identity. “PingIntelligence for APIs allows security and DevOps teams to monitor API infrastructures for new APIs, provides audit trails of API traffic, and automatically blocks identified cyberattacks that target data and systems behind the APIs.”
