API Protection & Security | API Gateway Security

API Protection Platform

Discover the full API landscape, validate REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket requests against expected schemas, monitor API attacks, and keep route-level observability evidence close to every edge decision.

API protection workflow showing discovered REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket endpoints connected to schema validation, authentication context, attack monitoring, and analytics evidence.

Hidden Risks in Your API Landscape

APIs are the backbone of modern applications, but unmanaged, undocumented, and unsecured endpoints create attack paths that are hard to prioritize without a live inventory and route-level exposure context.

Shadow & Zombie APIs

Undocumented or deprecated APIs that remain active, creating unmonitored entry points for attackers and increasing liability exposure for your organization.

Business Logic Flaws

Attackers exploiting legitimate API functions for malicious purposes, potentially leading to fraudulent transactions and service abuse that directly impacts your revenue.

Data Exposure

Improperly configured APIs leaking sensitive customer, financial, or proprietary data, resulting in regulatory penalties and loss of competitive advantage.

Discover, Validate, and Enforce

Peakhour connects endpoint discovery, schema validation, authenticated request handling, and policy enforcement so API protection follows each route from first sighting to active protection.

API Discovery

Continuously discover and catalogue REST, GraphQL, and WebSocket APIs, including shadow and zombie endpoints, with ownership, schema state, and current risk.
Schema Compliance & Validation

Enforce strict adherence to OpenAPI/Swagger specifications for REST APIs, apply GraphQL depth controls, and bind WebSocket traffic to authenticated context.
Threat Protection

Protect against the OWASP API Top 10, including injection attacks, broken authentication, and data exposure, with policy decisions and evidence captured at Peakhour Edge or alongside the edge you already run.

Operational Evidence

API Risk and Attack Monitoring Evidence

Every protected route produces evidence for security and platform teams: endpoint risk, schema violations, authentication failures, blocked attack classes, latency, and clean traffic trends.

Schema evidence: Prioritize drift and validation failures by route.

Attack monitoring: Connect API abuse evidence to authentication failures, latency, and clean traffic trends.
