Our API Protection solution sits between your API endpoints and incoming requests, analyzing traffic for suspicious patterns. It validates authentication, enforces rate limits, inspects payloads for malicious content, and blocks requests from known bad actors or suspicious sources.
API Protection
Prosopo's API Protection offers robust security for your critical API endpoints, safeguarding the vital connections that power your digital services. Our solution prevents common API vulnerabilities while ensuring legitimate traffic flows smoothly.
With features including rate limiting, request validation, and anomaly detection, our API Protection defends against both targeted attacks and automated abuse. Deploy our protection layer without modifying your existing API structure or performance.
Why our API Protection stands out
Our API-first approach delivers security designed specifically for modern API architectures.
Non-intrusive implementation
Deploy as a reverse proxy or directly on your API gateway without changing your existing codebase or architecture.
Authentication protection
Prevent credential stuffing, token theft, and brute force attacks against your API authentication systems.
Performance optimization
Identify and block resource-intensive requests that could impact API performance while allowing legitimate traffic to flow smoothly.

I wanted to use a CAPTCHA which was as easy as possible for my website's visitors while respecting their privacy and which didn't use cookies. Prosopo's CAPTCHA meets all these criteria.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does API Protection work?
Will API Protection affect my API performance?
Our solution is designed for minimal impact, typically adding less than 5ms of latency. The protection layer uses efficient algorithms and can be deployed on edge networks to ensure performance remains optimal even under high traffic conditions.
Does it work with any API architecture?
Yes, our protection is compatible with RESTful APIs, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, and other API architectures. It can be deployed across cloud environments, on-premises infrastructure, or hybrid setups.
Can I customize the protection rules?
Absolutely. While our system comes with pre-configured protection against common threats, you can define custom rules for your specific API requirements, business logic, and security policies.
How is API Protection different from a WAF?
Unlike traditional Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), our API Protection is specifically designed for API traffic patterns and vulnerabilities. It understands API schemas, can validate against OpenAPI specifications, and provides more granular controls for API-specific concerns like rate limiting and token validation.
