Wallarm Sets New Standard in API Revenue Security

In a groundbreaking move, Wallarm, a frontrunner in the API and AI security space, has unveiled an innovative API Revenue Protection capability that aims to transform how organizations perceive and manage API security. This revolutionary feature gives Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) an extensive understanding of the impact that cyber-attacks have on a company’s revenue, thus facilitating the alignment between API security and business objectives.

Understanding the New Feature

The API Revenue Protection capability is integrated into the Wallarm platform and enables security teams to quantify the financial impact of attacks, thereby converting security threats into visible business concerns. As cyber threats evolve rapidly—from AI-generated abuses to sophisticated account takeovers—the ability to safeguard APIs, which are now vital business engines, becomes essential. In such a scenario, any downtime caused by API compromises can lead to immediate financial repercussions. Wallarm's CEO, Ivan Novikov, emphasizes, "APIs aren't just a technical surface anymore. They are business engines."

Key Features of Wallarm's API Revenue Protection

The new feature is powered by advanced AI technology and employs transaction-aware telemetry. It tracks revenue flows and tackles fraudulent activities before they translate into losses. Here’s a thorough breakdown of the capabilities:
1. Automated Identification of Revenue-Critical APIs: This feature automatically discerns which APIs contribute significantly to revenue by examining traffic patterns, integration context, and monetization logic.
2. Transaction-Aware Revenue Attribution: Directly extracting revenue amounts from API transactions provides real-time insights into the financial activity happening within APIs, such as order values and payment confirmations.
3. Advanced Threat Protection for High-Value Endpoints: The solution offers real-time mitigation against various attack methodologies targeting revenue-generating APIs. This includes protections against OWASP Business Logic Abuse, account takeover schemes, and more.
4. Business Context-Aware Detection and Response: Real-time adaptability to changing threat landscapes while preserving API functionality and user experience is ensured. This is achieved through a comprehensive analysis of business logic linked to transaction flows.
5. Dedicated Revenue Protection Dashboard: This feature quantifies the amount of revenue under protection and highlights emerging attack trends, allowing security leaders to effectively communicate their operational value to higher management.

The Shift in Security Dialogue

With Wallarm's new feature, security teams can now measure the financial impact of their initiatives, transitioning discussions from reactive risk management to proactive business value creation. Digital-first organizations particularly benefit from the capacity to report their security ROI, measured as Revenue Secured Per Dollar Spent. This metric signifies a noteworthy shift in the approach to security, highlighting its importance not merely as a protective measure, but as an essential driver of business success.

Upcoming Demonstration

Wallarm plans to showcase its revolutionary API Revenue Protection feature at the Black Hat USA 2025 conference in Las Vegas. Currently, the feature is available for early access, with a full release anticipated in the latter half of 2025.
