Wallarm API Security Testing

Wallarm API Security Testing (FAST / API DAST) is an automated security testing and fuzzing solution designed to detect vulnerabilities and business logic flaws in web APIs during development, QA testing, and continuous integration pipelines. By analyzing real application traffic and OpenAPI contracts, it dynamically generates targeted security test requests to probe API endpoints for exploitable flaws.

The platform integrates directly into CI/CD pipelines as a testing proxy or runner that records legitimate traffic generated by automated integration tests (e.g., Postman collections, Selenium tests) and uses it to synthesize realistic security payloads. Key technical capabilities include automated vulnerability fuzzing for OWASP API Top 10 flaws, broken object-level authorization (BOLA/IDOR) testing, injection flaw detection, rate limit validation, OpenAPI contract conformity verification, and automated vulnerability reporting into developer issue trackers. Because test cases are derived from actual traffic, tests execute with contextual parameters and minimal configuration.

DevSecOps teams, QA engineers, and application security specialists deploy Wallarm API Security Testing to catch critical security flaws before code deployments reach production. It integrates seamlessly with GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Postman, and Jira. Common operational use cases include identifying authorization bypasses across microservices, testing new API versions for security regressions, verifying that rate limits effectively throttle abusive traffic, and delivering clear remediation instructions to engineering teams.
