Salt Security Bet the Next Big Breach Would Walk Through an API. Now AI Agents Have the Keys.
Salt built a unicorn by watching the doors modern software forgot it had. Its next act is policing the AI agents now opening those doors at machine speed - and turning eight years of API behavior into a map security teams can use.
ammune.ai
ammune.ai (formerly L7 Defense) is a cybersecurity company that builds ammune™, a fully autonomous, AI-based platform for protecting APIs - and, increasingly, AI systems and data centers - from cyberattacks. Using unsupervised machine learning, ammune auto-discovers APIs and builds a tailored protection layer for each one inline from the first request, blocking dozens of attack types (bots, DDoS, business-logic abuse, injection) in real time without pre-training or rule-writing. The platform is platform-agnostic, running on-premises, in the cloud, in Kubernetes clusters, and offloaded onto DPUs such as NVIDIA BlueField-2, and it recently expanded toward offline, air-gapped protection for AI workloads.
Wallarm
Wallarm is a San Francisco-based API and application security company protecting more than half of public-facing APIs at large enterprises with a unified platform for API discovery, attack prevention, and AI-era threat protection.
