Behavioral AI has protected critical applications and now blocks complex external attacks
I think Salt Security could improve their implementations. The one that I saw was very complex and took quite a bit of time, and if the environment is unique at all, it takes quite a bit of time to figure out how to properly ensure that it will be implemented. A lot of times there is a steep learning curve for someone that hasn't been in it to figure out the APIs and really dig deep into it, but once you get used to it, it is easy. However, that ramp-up period could be tough. I think Salt Security could use a more enterprise focus. Some of the smaller companies that I have referred them to think it is a little bit too complex for them, so if they could come up with a different version or something a little bit easier to simplify their platform, they may be able to find more customers that way.

Automated API threat detection has boosted security and incident response but needs better AI insights
Traceable AI can be improved on various platforms. It is a strong API security platform but there are areas for improvement such as AI explanations for why a request was flagged, more out-of-the-box integrations, improved dashboards for executives, and more flexible pricing which would enhance the overall experience. For very large environments, simpler policy management and better automation for alert tuning would also be valuable. Better AI explainability would be beneficial. Currently it detects suspicious activity, but it could be improved by explaining why the API was flagged with confidence scores and recommended remediation steps. For example, with suspicious logins, it should show details such as login rate from a new location using 500 unique usernames within 10 minutes with a confidence score of around 90 percent and indicate whether it is a false positive. Initially, AI has to generate extra alerts. It could be improved with better automatic tuning to learn application behavior faster and reduce unnecessary alerts. Current dashboards are useful but could be improved with accessible executive dashboards. There are also more integrations that could be done with CI/CD, ticketing systems, and cloud security platforms.
