SoftwareONE Announces Partnership with Salt Security to extend offerings to protect business critical APIs that are fueling today’s digital transformation!

Application Programming Interface (APIs) have become core components of business-critical infrastructure, enabling digital transformation, fueling innovation, and powering every customer-facing application and partner-facing service. APIs by nature expose application business logic and valuable, sensitive data and as API use has increased, so has risk. Attackers have taken notice, and in recent years, APIs have become the primary target for their efforts.

“Digital transformation is a top priority for our clients and APIs are essential to fuel their innovation.” said Jeffrey de Heer, EMEA MultiVendor Leader at SoftwareONE. “With Salt Security we can help customers realize their digital transformation vision and ensure their business critical applications and services are protected with the most advanced and proven solution on the market.” The new partnership is the next step in our total security offering towards our customers!

The Salt Security API Protection Platform provides comprehensive security for APIs at the core of every modern application with a patented API Context Engine (ACE) architecture – powered by big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML). It enables organizations to catalog their APIs, see where they expose sensitive data, detect and block API attackers, scan and test APIs, and provide remediation insights that developers can use to harden APIs and improve the security posture over time.

“Working with SoftwareONE is a natural fit given their focus and expertise to help customers drive digital transformation initiatives and meet time to market demands.” said Sunil Dutt, Director Channel Sales EMEA at Salt Security “We’re thrilled to partner with them to deliver solutions that secure the APIs fueling the growth of their customers.”
