Indusface shakes up application security with 72-hour API compliance capability

In Dallas, on December 13, 2024, Indusface announced the launch of a groundbreaking feature called the 72-Hour API Compliance Capability, which aims to assist organizations in identifying and securing their public APIs. This innovative capability allows companies to discover public-facing API endpoints, analyze vulnerabilities, implement advanced protection mechanisms, and achieve audit-ready compliance swiftly within a 72-hour timeframe. With a significant portion of Indusface's customer base already utilizing the SwyftComply framework for websites, the addition of API compliance further strengthens their commitment to addressing critical cybersecurity needs in an evolving digital landscape. APIs play a central role in digital ecosystems, making their security essential for preventing significant compliance risks, particularly regarding standards such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI DSS. Unaddressed vulnerabilities in APIs can lead to costly violations; for example, a single GDPR violation could result in fines averaging €2 million. The new SwyftComply for APIs is designed to simplify the process of API discovery, vulnerability management, and compliance reporting, allowing organizations to safeguard their digital assets efficiently while meeting industry regulations. Indusface's CEO, Ashish Tandon, highlighted that customers who adopted the SwyftComply processes have seen substantial benefits, including a significant reduction in attacks on their systems. Moreover, the launch corresponds with the heightened urgency for companies to comply with stringent regulatory requirements as cybersecurity incidents continue to rise globally. With unpatched API flaws being a primary reason for failed audits, the 72-Hour Compliance Capability was developed to provide a fast, effective means of ensuring that organizations can maintain their compliance and pass required audits without delay. The comprehensive features included in this offering not only focus on vulnerability analysis and mapping of public APIs, but also extend protection against DDoS and bot attacks, enhancing the resilience of API infrastructures. The new service is now accessible to all AppTrana customers, underscoring Indusface's commitment to delivering leading-edge security solutions tailored to the needs of modern businesses. A webinar titled '72 Hours to Audit-Ready API Security: A Proven Framework' has been scheduled for December 19, 2024, to showcase the capabilities of SwyftComply for APIs in action, further engaging users and potential clients wanting to learn how to manage API security effectively. As organizations turn their attention to securing APIs, initiatives like the one from Indusface illustrate a proactive approach to navigate and address the dynamically shifting landscape of cybersecurity and compliance.
