API Security Testing
Detect API security risks in your web, mobile, and IoT apps and services
Modern application architectures are built on distributed apps and services that communicate through APIs. Synopsys API Scanner™ makes it easy for developers to identify security defects in the APIs they implement.
AppSec testing optimized for the needs of API developers
APIs provide open, flexible interfaces that enable applications and services to talk to each other. But these characteristics can also make it difficult to build secure software—and even more difficult for traditional AppSec tools to test it.
Synopsys API Scanner’s deep analysis and contextually aware fuzzing helps development teams proactively protect their REST and GraphQL APIs and ensure that they are secure, correct, and behave to specification.
Context-aware analysis of RESTful and GraphQL APIs
RESTful APIs
Using OpenAPI/Swagger or an HTTP Archive (HAR) export, Synopsys API Scanner builds a map of the entire API, including endpoints, parameters, type signatures, and specifications, as well as authentication and other required information to develop a deep understanding of the API and how to interact with it.
GraphQL APIs
When pointed to a GraphQL endpoint, Synopsys API Scanner uses introspection (a GraphQL feature) and patent-pending graph reduction algorithms to build a traversable representation of the entire GraphQL API and a full representative set of queries used for auditing. Synopsys API Scanner is the only tool that can fully audit GraphQL APIs for vulnerabilities and correctness.
Intelligent API security testing
Synopsys API Scanner comprehensively tests your APIs for:
Vulnerabilities and correctness
Automatically test every identified endpoint, fuzzing parameters with values generated through constraint and validation analysis to ensure the implementation doesn’t deviate from the specification.
Business logic flaws
Bypass server-side input validation to test the functionality of your APIs with payloads that are intelligently generated to test the boundaries of your validation.
Authorization and authentication bypasses
Combine and test authentication methods, including OAuth2, JWT, and authorization headers, all within an easily defined workflow.
Testing at the speed of development
Fast scans
Synopsys API Scanner runs in minutes, so your DevOps/CI pipeline isn’t slowed down.
Single-click replay attacks
Automated testing integrated with the tools you use today
CI/CD integration
Synopsys API Scanner integrates directly with Jenkins and other CI/CD pipeline tools, so you can build API security into your DevOps pipelines.
Automation API
Tailor and automate any aspect of API scanning and issue reporting using the Synopsys API. If you can do it in the UI, you can do it with the API.
Issue tracker integration
