API Sentry

Improve interoperability between applications and prevent data loss by identifying and remediating API security issues

Overview

For improved interoperability between applications, the API Sentry service leverages unique technology to facilitate ongoing testing and identifies security vulnerabilities, business logic flaws, and access control issues that can lead to a loss of sensitive data through APIs.

The API Sentry service helps organizations understand and manage the risks associated with APIs in their environment not once but on a continuous basis. Gain never before intelligence into the health of APIs and realize how to remediate vulnerabilities efficiently.

Cost-Effective

We take a proactive and ongoing approach to safeguarding APIs, in contrast to manual penetration testing that could become costly over time.

Having a partner that is actively monitoring our systems, trends, local and global threats not only saves the Virtua IT Security team time, but provides us with the ability to proactively look at potential threats to plan accordingly. The partnership with CynergisTek has allowed us to focus on compliance, developing risk programs, policy and procedures leading to a culture focused on making us more secure.

Tom Gordon

CIO, Virtua

Security has become a necessary and critical strategic pillar for our organization, and it is too broad and complex for a provider organization to keep up with on their own. Having a partner like CynergisTek with depth and breadth of knowledge and expertise is a crucial asset for our organization. I can’t imagine navigating these issues without them.

CynergisTek’s social engineering and phishing service was an excellent training tool for our organization. A third-party assessment of how our policies and procedures would stack up against a real threat was eye-opening and provided us with valuable information we can leverage to continue to enhance our security posture.
