Astra API Security Platform Description
Astra is an end-to-end API security and vulnerability management platform built for engineering and DevSecOps teams. It provides full visibility into your API ecosystem, automatically discovering undocumented or forgotten endpoints across complex cloud environments. Using a combination of DAST scanning, penetration testing, and continuous monitoring, Astra identifies over 10,000 vulnerabilities including broken access control, injection flaws, and sensitive data leaks. Its Authorization Matrix feature gives a granular view of user privileges to prevent privilege escalation and unauthorized access. The platform seamlessly integrates with major cloud and development tools like AWS Gateway, GCP Apigee, NGINX, Postman, and Burp Suite. Astra’s traffic connectors monitor real-time API activity to uncover risky endpoints such as Zombie or Shadow APIs. Developers can collaborate directly on remediation through built-in workflows, detailed reports, and Jira or Slack integration. Backed by world-class pentesters and trusted by top enterprises, Astra helps organizations safeguard APIs with precision and scalability.

Astra's Pentest is a comprehensive solution for penetration testing. It includes an intelligent vulnerability scanner and in-depth manual pentesting.
The automated scanner performs 10000+ security checks, including security checks for all CVEs listed in the OWASP top 10 and SANS 25. It also conducts all required tests to comply with ISO 27001 and HIPAA.
Astra provides an interactive pentest dashboard which allows users to visualize vulnerability analysis, assign vulnerabilities to team members, collaborate with security experts, and to collaborate with security experts. The integrations with CI/CD platforms and Jira are also available if users don't wish to return to the dashboard each time they want to use it or assign a vulnerability for a team member.

EthicalCheck
You can either submit API test requests through the user interface form or trigger the EthicalCheck API using tools like cURL or Postman. To input your request, you will need a public-facing OpenAPI Specification URL, an authentication token that remains valid for a minimum of 10 minutes, an active license key, and your email address. The EthicalCheck engine autonomously generates and executes tailored security tests for your APIs based on the OWASP API Top 10 list, effectively filtering out false positives from the outcomes while producing a customized report that is easily digestible for developers, which is then sent directly to your email. As noted by Gartner, APIs represent the most common target for attacks, with hackers and automated bots exploiting vulnerabilities that have led to significant security breaches in numerous organizations. This system ensures that you only see genuine vulnerabilities, as false positives are systematically excluded from the results. Furthermore, you can produce high-quality penetration testing reports suitable for enterprise use, allowing you to share them confidently with developers, customers, partners, and compliance teams alike. Utilizing EthicalCheck can be likened to conducting a private bug-bounty program that enhances your security posture effectively. By opting for EthicalCheck, you are taking a proactive step in safeguarding your API infrastructure.
