What is Astra API Security Platform?
Astra is a comprehensive API security testing platform that helps businesses discover, analyze, and secure every API in their network—documented or not. Designed for modern engineering and security teams, it automatically detects Shadow, Zombie, and Orphan APIs to eliminate blind spots across your entire infrastructure. Astra’s continuous discovery engine integrates with AWS, GCP, and on-prem environments to provide full visibility into API traffic, parameters, and data exposure risks. Its Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) engine scans APIs for over 10,000 known vulnerabilities, including OWASP Top 10, misconfigurations, and real-world CVEs. Beyond automation, Astra’s manual penetration testing by certified experts (OSCP, CEH, CRTP, PCI, AWS-certified) uncovers complex business logic vulnerabilities that scanners often miss. The Authorization Matrix module allows teams to visualize and correct access control flaws before they turn into breaches. Real-time dashboards and detailed remediation guides make it easy for teams to track progress and strengthen security posture. Astra integrates seamlessly with developer tools such as Postman, Burp Suite, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines, enabling “shift-left” security across the software lifecycle. Built for scalability, it continuously learns from traffic and code changes to provide incremental testing after every API update. Trusted by over 1,000 engineering teams and top brands worldwide, Astra delivers continuous, agentic, and actionable API protection—helping organizations stay one step ahead of evolving threats.
