42Crunch
The API Security Platform.
Overview
42Crunch provides an API security platform that is focused on a 'shift-left' approach, enabling developers to build security into their APIs from the very beginning of the development lifecycle. It offers tools for API contract security auditing, conformance scanning, and a micro API firewall for protection.
✨ Key Features
- API Contract Security Audit
- API Conformance Scan
- Micro API Firewall
- IDE Integration (VS Code, JetBrains)
- CI/CD Integration
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Strong focus on developer experience and shift-left
- Deep OpenAPI/Swagger specification analysis
- Lightweight micro API firewall
Unique Value: Empowers developers to build secure APIs from the start, reducing vulnerabilities and remediation costs by integrating security directly into the CI/CD pipeline.
