In recent years, it’s become clear that APIs are very vulnerable to security
breaches. Facebook, Snapchat, Marriott, Delmarva Power, TurboTax, and
Twitter are just a small portion of the growing list of companies that
have been breached through their API. Research indicates that 84% of all
cyber-attacks are happening at the application layer, rendering
companies’ existing network security protections insufficient.

Secful is a company launching out of our Winter 2016 class that prevents API attacks, automatically and hands-free. Secful
secures enterprises’ APIs by detecting and profiling
attackers in real-time and creating custom-tailored protection against them.

Every attack begins with the same phase:
Reconnaissance. During this time, an attacker understands how the API
should be used. Afterwards, the attacker actively researchers a
company’s endpoints for vulnerabilities. Usually these trial-and-error
attempts go unnoticed until a breach actually occurs. Until now.

Secful
tracks all of the attacker’s activity from the very beginning, and
creates a profile that contains an up-to-the-minute attack timeline,
along with essential information to prevent the attack. Most
importantly, Secful highlights the most dangerous potential attacks so
that companies can handle them first.
