Traceable Cloud WAAP, developed by the merged entities of Harness and Traceable, represents a significant advancement in web application and API protection, designed specifically for cloud-native environments. Unlike traditional Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) solutions that focus on static perimeter defenses, Traceable Cloud WAAP offers real-time, behavior-based detection and unified protection throughout the software lifecycle. This innovation addresses the security challenges posed by modern, distributed applications, which rely heavily on APIs and evolve rapidly, often leaving legacy solutions inadequate. Key features include comprehensive API discovery, sensitive data flow mapping, and real-time runtime protection, all integrated seamlessly into existing environments for maximum deployment flexibility. By providing deep context and intelligence, Traceable Cloud WAAP helps security teams detect and respond to threats more effectively, ensuring consistent protection without hindering development speed. This launch underscores the unified vision of Harness and Traceable to create a seamless, AI-powered DevSecOps platform, enabling teams to defend against complex threats like bot attacks and API abuse while maintaining the agility and innovation essential for modern applications.
