Are hidden APIs in your infra the biggest risk you’re ignoring?

Our intern once spun up 50+ APIs “just for testing.” No docs, no tracking, nothing. 

Turns out, this wasn’t a one-off. Across 1,000+ companies we’ve pentested, the same thing kept showing up: API sprawl everywhere. 

Shadow APIs, zombie endpoints, undocumented services means huge attack surface, almost zero visibility.

That’s why we built Astra API Security Platform.

What it does:

• Auto-discovers APIs via live traffic • Runs 15,000+ DAST test cases • Detects shadow, zombie, and orphan APIs • AI-powered logic testing for real-world risks • Works with REST, GraphQL, internal and mobile APIs • Integrates with AWS, GCP, Azure, Postman, Burp, Nginx

APIs are the #1 starting point for breaches today. We wanted something API-first, not a generic scanner duct-taped onto the problem.

What’s the weirdest API-related security incident you’ve seen?
