Capabilities10 decomposed

automatic api discovery and inventory

Medium confidence

Discovers and catalogs all APIs in use across an organization without requiring code instrumentation or manual documentation. Identifies both documented and shadow APIs, including rogue endpoints that traditional security tools miss.

Solves for

I need to know what APIs are actually running in my infrastructureI want to find undocumented or shadow APIs that pose security risksI need a complete inventory of all API endpoints without modifying application code

Network access to API traffic

Deployment of monitoring agents or sidecars

API traffic flowing through monitored infrastructure

Limitations

Requires network-level visibility or sidecar deployment

About

Enhances API security through discovery, threat detection, and attack protection

Unfragile Review

Traceable is a specialized API security platform that addresses a critical gap in modern application defense by providing real-time discovery, threat detection, and protection across API ecosystems. Rather than treating APIs as an afterthought, it positions API security as a first-class citizen with behavioral threat detection and attack prevention specifically tuned for API patterns and abuse scenarios.

Pros

+Automatic API discovery without code instrumentation, capturing shadow APIs and rogue endpoints that traditional security tools miss
+Behavioral threat detection that learns legitimate API usage patterns, reducing false positives compared to signature-based approaches
+Attack protection specifically designed for API-layer threats like credential stuffing, abuse, and injection attacks rather than generic WAF rules

Cons

-Requires network-level integration or sidecar deployment which adds operational complexity compared to passive monitoring solutions
-Pricing model not transparent on website, and likely cost-prohibitive for small teams managing fewer than hundreds of APIs
