API Security — Audit, Scan, and Protect Your APIs by Design | 42Crunch
API security by design. A decade in, still the foundation.
Not every team needs AI agent governance yet — plenty need to secure the REST and GraphQL APIs already running their business, today. This is the platform that's done exactly that since 2017, and it isn't going anywhere.

Contract → Audit → Scan → Protect
The same governance cycle that now extends to AI agents via MCP started here — with OpenAPI and GraphQL specifications as the contract.
01
Contract
OpenAPI / GraphQL spec declares intended behavior — what's accepted, what's returned, who can call it.
02
Audit
300+ static checks score the contract before it ships — broken auth, data exposure, injection risk, misconfiguration.
03
Scan
Live conformance testing plus security injection against the running service, mapped to the OWASP API Security Top 10.
04
Protect
The approved contract becomes the firewall policy at the gateway — a positive security model, not a blocklist.
Everything you'd expect from a decade-old API security platform.
◉
API Audit
300+ automated checks across file validity, security definitions, and data quality — real-time scoring in your IDE and CI/CD.
◉
API Scan
Dynamic conformance testing against the audited contract via simulated real traffic, with remediation reports.
◉
API Protection
A micro-firewall builds an allowlist from your contract — anything that deviates is blocked, with sub-millisecond overhead.
◉
API Discovery
Continuous inventory across repos, developer portals, gateways, and runtime logs — no API left unaccounted for.
◉
GraphQL Security
The same audit, scan, and protect cycle applied to GraphQL schemas — introspection risk, query-cost controls, federation security.
◉
OpenAPI Contract
The producer/consumer standard your teams already write to — created via IDE extension, platform editor, or auto-generated from traffic.
