Hamburg-founded Graylog, a provider of SIEM and log management solutions, announced on Wednesday that it has acquired Resurface.io’s data-driven API security platform.
The company says that with this acquisition, enterprise customers will now have access to a comprehensive API security Threat Detection and Incident Response platform to combat the ever-evolving challenges in the API security landscape.
The product will be named Graylog API Security.
Resurface.io’s Founder, Rob Dickinson, says, “I am thrilled to become a part of Graylog and help contribute Resurface’s expertise in API security to their innovative portfolio. Resurface.io’s solution takes a SIEM approach to solve the API Threat Detection issue, so there are many synergies. The Resurface API technology and solution will enable Graylog to reach a broader audience, accelerate product advancements, and provide customers unparalleled API ecosystem protection.”
Benefits of Resurface API solution
As APIs become one of the most exposed attack surfaces, Resurface.io’s technologies will help customers fortify their defences against API-related threats.
By seamlessly integrating the Resurface API solution, which captures comprehensive API traffic data to gain insights into attacks and threats, with Graylog’s existing SIEM solution, customers will enjoy enhanced API security monitoring, threat detection, and incident response capabilities.
One advantage of Graylog API Security is its ability to collaborate with existing Web Application Firewalls (WAF) and API gateways, providing an additional layer of defence that effectively addresses sophisticated attacks from authenticated users.
Often, these attackers gain entry masquerading as trial users, partners, or even paying customers.
This streamlined approach not only minimises disruptions to the security team but also results in noteworthy improvements to the overall security posture of the organisation.
According to the company, key advantages of Graylog’s API security solution include:
- Guided Threat Detection & Response – out-of-the-box alerts
- Continuous, Uninterrupted Monitoring
- Full Request AND Response Payload
- Secure Self-Managed Solution
- Effortless Implementation & Maintenance
Graylog Security: Game-changing cybersecurity solution
Graylog Security is a cybersecurity solution that offers robust, cost-effective ways to protect organisations against cyber threats.
Using AI/ML, security analytics, advanced log management, and intelligent alerting, Graylog enables organisations to stay ahead of threats.
Graylog CEO, Andy Grolnick, says, “APIs have rapidly become a favoured attack surface for cybercriminals as attacks in Europe reach peak levels. Yet, not unlike the “emperor has no clothes” fable, most APIs are exposed due to lack of security monitoring, authentication issues, and other vulnerabilities.”
“This has led to the theft of millions of personal records (PII), ransomware, and other damaging attacks. What is needed is a purpose-built API security solution focused on the detection of and response to API-specific threats, working in concert with a SIEM to provide a more complete defense,” Grolnick adds.
