Over the years, many different things have tried to define human life, and yet none has done a better job than our tendency to get better under every situation. This progressive tendency, on our part, has already got the world to hit upon some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so anomalous is purposed around its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also very much inspired by the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence and made it the ultimate centerpiece of every horizon. Now, having such a powerful tool run the show did expand our experience in many different directions, but even after reaching so far ahead, this prodigious concept called technology will somehow keep on delivering the right goods. The same has grown to become a lot more evident in recent times, and assuming one new GRC-themed development pans out just like we envision, it will only propel that trend towards greater heights over the near future and beyond.
Noname Security, provider of the most complete API security platform, has officially announced integrations with leading Security Orchestration, Automation and Response (SOAR) platform providers in Swimlane, Tines, and Palo Alto Networks. According to certain reports, these integrations will be geared towards helping joint customers automate and streamline their API security incident response processes, enhance threat detection, accelerate remediation, and improve visibility and reporting. Talk about these objectives on a granular level, let’s begin from enhanced threat detection where Noname security will deliver on its promised value proposition by seamlessly integrating API security data with other security events and intelligence feeds. Such a move should be able to bolster accuracy in regards to threat detection alerts, deliver contextual and case-centric insights into potential risks, while simultaneously making this data available to other platforms for a better chance of threat mitigation. Next up, we must acknowledge how the integrations in focus here will look to expedite the remediation of any potential API vulnerabilities and threats. You see, Noname Security’s SOAR integrations are going to effectively mechanize the entire process so to ensure greater efficiency. This won’t just come in handy when the agenda is to prevent security breaches, but it will also prove useful in reducing the impact of a breach, if it still somehow manages to materialize. Such a move is, of course, made possible by the presence of streamline workflows that enable customers to react more swiftly against all threats. Then, there is the prospect of enhanced visibility and reporting. From now onwards, Noname Security users can leverage the power of SOAR technologies to create all-encompassing reports and dashboards. But what will the stated reports do on an actionable note? Well, they offer a comprehensive overview of API security throughout the organization. Given the complete focus on each and every level, the integrations enhance decision-making capabilities to a degree that is bound to have a far-reaching impact, as far as organizational security is concerned.
“API usage has hit an inflection point, prompting security teams to acknowledge the imperative need for API security as an integral part of IT workflows. By integrating with key SOAR platforms, Noname Security offers immediate access to the best protection against threat actors looking to take advantage of weak or non-existent API security,” said Karl Mattson, CISO at Noname Security. “The integration of the Noname API Security Platform with some of the most widely used orchestration, automation, and response platforms is a significant milestone in the evolution of our partner ecosystem. Today’s news ensures that customers of both Noname and the SOAR community are secure.”
The development provides an interesting follow-up to API Disconnect Report 2023 published by Noname Security. This report notably revealed that, although 94% of security professionals are confident in their current application testing tools, 78% have still experienced an API security incident this year. In response, Noname Security has formalized strategic partnerships with industry leaders like IBM, Intel, Microsoft, and Wiz, among others, to put-together a set of solutions that anyone can run in a matter of few minutes.
Founded in 2020, Noname Security has risen up on the back of its proactive approach to API security. At present, the company offers API security scope across four main pillars, including Discovery, Posture Management, Runtime Security, and API Security Testing. Noname’s excellence in what it does can be understood once you consider that it works alongside 20% of the Fortune 500 organizations.
“Swimlane Turbine combines the power of AI with human-in-the-loop, low-code security automation to augment outcomes for the entire security organization,” said Mike Kay, Senior Vice President of Business Development at Swimlane. “Swimlane transcends traditional SOAR technology by ingesting and correlating data from broader integration sets to take action the instant threats occur. Together, Swimlane and Noname will enable security analysts to promptly address critical API security risks, all while automating security use cases beyond the security operations center (SOC).”
