APIs are central to modern digital products but pose significant security challenges due to their expanding endpoints and increased attack surfaces. Datadog's App and API Protection (AAP) addresses these issues by providing comprehensive API visibility and security solutions, integrating discovery, monitoring, and remediation within a single platform. AAP features an API Inventory that consolidates data from multiple sources, including live traffic and source code analysis, to offer a unified view of an organization's API landscape. It detects misconfigurations and vulnerabilities through API Findings, which prioritize risks and automate responses. The API posture overview offers an organization-wide assessment of security health, highlighting undocumented and high-risk endpoints, while built-in detection rules and custom queries enable continuous monitoring and protection. AAP's integration with Datadog's existing tools allows for effective alerting and remediation, turning API visibility into proactive security management and facilitating the evolution of API practices to align with modern risk models.
