Don't be responsible for an API security failure

Find & fix API vulnerabilities as you build them

Integrate API security with your CI/CD pipelines so that it becomes a natural part of your software deployment workflow & can’t be forgotten.

API tests run without someone clicking a button

Legacy, big-brand security tools force you to hire people to operate them. Cyber Chief Bolt scans run automatically from your CI/CD pipelines so you can put those savings to hiring more devs.

We used to test our APIs about once a year on average. Cyber Chief allows us to secure them daily with human help for our devs.

Your API tech stack is unique, and supported here

Supports REST, GraphQL & SOAP APIs

Use a unique tech stack that to build your API endpoints - no problem. Cyber Chief Bolt can help you secure all your API endpoints, no matter the underlying frameworks.

Built for modern software development frameworks

Many of our clients realised that the legacy, big-brand AppSec tools couldn't handle their frameworks. Cyber Chief wasn't built for Windows-client applications, which means it works out-of-the-box with the frameworks that you use to build your API endpoints.

Want to start securing your API endpoints while you build them (even if you don't have a security team)?

Save money by not being forced to hire an internal security team

Don't waste dev time creating Postman collections

Use the optional Cyber Chief Bolt agent to put your API endpoint disovery on autopilot so that that your devs will never waste another minute creating tedious (and quickly obsolete) Postman collections to document your endpoints.

Meet compliance requirements without the overhead

Maintaining certifications like ISO27001, SOC 2 and GDPR is less expensive with Cyber Chief's automated reports. This helps you beat competitors by using your security posture as a differentiating factor.

Make security everyone's problem, not just your headache

By running API security tests from your CI/CD pipelines you're able to change the culture of security so that it becomes a natural and accepte part of your software development workflow.

How does Cyber Chief's Bolt API security tool work?

Bolt is Cyber Chief's API security module. You can:

★ Automatically discover the endoints you didn't know existed

★ Eliminate shadow APIs before they hit prod

★ Run API security on autopilot from your CICD pipelines

★ Take advantage of false positive rates of less than 3%

★ Give on-the-job coaching so your devs patch vulnerabilities faster

It just gives me a lot of certainty that we're not pushing code with massive security vulnerabilities.

Hard-hitting questions you might want to ask us

Depends on how determined you are to upgrade your security posture! But the good news is that unlike other security tools, Cyber Chief is designed to integrate with your CI/CD pipeline.

This means it becomes a natural part of your team's software development workflows, which in turn means they're more likely to use it and maximise your ROI.

When you come onboard, we’ll hold your hand along the journey to making sure you’re maximising your ROI, but also levelling up your API Security structure.

Quite to the contrary! Cyber Chief allows your devs to do smaller chunks of security work more often (eg. a few minutes to an hour at a time) so that they don't have to waste weeks fixing issues that became really complex because they were left unattended for a long time.

It's like brushing your teeth every day so that you only have to see the dentist for less expensive check-ups and cleans. If you didn't brush daily you'd be more likely to see a dentist for bigger and much more expensive treatments (that are also far more painful).

Gartner research shows that software teams that automate security do 10x the number of security activities, but spend only 1/2 the time in patching.

Absolutely not. Because Cyber Chief resides in the cloud, you can access it from your favourite browser on your work computer or your phone. We don't require you to download .exe files and we save you the usual installation headaches. All that you need is a working internet connection.

The added advantage is that your laptop or workstation is completely free when Cyber Chief is executing your automated tests. More productivity = happier management = you sleep better at night.

Our clients report a true false positive rate of less than 3%.

You might have experienced false positives in other legacy, big-brand tools because they are designed to be calibrated on a scan by scan basis by experienced and accredited security experts. Put these tools in the hands of someone less experienced and you'll see a deluge of false positives.

In Cyber Chief, false positives are minimized because your scans are finely tuned by our AI algorithms and security analysts depending on the characteristics of your apps and APIs.

Unlike other tools you might have used, Cyber Chief will not flood your inbox with hundreds of false positives. And on the odd chance you come across a false positive you can simply archive it like so that it never gets in your way again.

Your developers and QA team won’t need any special cybersecurity training to patch vulnerabilities. And you certainly will save money by not having to send your devs to classroom-style security training programs.

That's because Cyber Chief automatically offers fixes for every vulnerability in the form of code snippets so your devs can stop "faffing around on Google" for days searching for fixes.

Where your devs still have questions they can get personalised help through chat and video calls from our security coaches using the On-Demand Security Coaching that is included in most Cyber Cheif subscriptions.

This "human touch" is one of the capabilities that our clients tell us they really value about Cyber Chief.

Cyber Chief’s Bolt API Security tool can be integrated in under 10 minutes with frameworks like .Net, Python (Django and Flask), Node.js, AWS Traffic Mirroring, Jenkins, Azure DevOps, Gitlab, Github and many more.

You can also send your issues to a host of ticketing systems including Jira, Gitlab, Github and others.

Remember, Cyber Chief has been designed to work with software development workflows and so your stack is probably already included in our list of integrations.

If you have specific questions about an integration, book a demo and we'll answer all the questions you have - even the ones you're scared to ask!

You can absolutely scan your existing Postman collection; OpenAPI specs; or Swagger specs if you wish.

Just be aware that by not using the Bolt agent you're missing one of the key benefits of automated API security because you're less likely to isolate and eliminate shadow APIs.

That's like telling your doctor not to run tests on you because you already know what's wrong with you and what medicine you want her to prescribe.

With every Cyber Chief subscription you get two types of support: technical and strategic.

Based on what we know about your industry and the experiences of other clients in your space, we will also be guiding you about how you can keep improving your security posture over time.

We don’t know what to call it - enhanced support? Handholding? But the point is you’re getting a partner that is committed to ensuring your decision to use Cyber Chief is seen as a great decision by your leadership.

The time taken to learn how to operate Cyber Chief is measured in minutes, not days.

Your developers and QA team don’t need any cybersecurity skills to run security tests and patch vulnerabilities.

Obviously you have unlimited access to the knowledge base and training from our client success team when you need it.

Most importantly, the learning curve with Cyber Chief is minimal because it fits in with your developers’ software development workflows. This means that they’re not forced to become security experts and you don’t need to spend money on recruiting new security experts to help them or to run the tool.

Our clients generally expect 3 types of ROI from their Cyber Chief investment:

• Cost savings by not having to hire a team of application security experts. This generally saves you the salary of at least 1 information security expert per 15 developers. This saving will be many multiples of what you might invest in your Cyber Chief subscription, usually saving our clients in excess of $145,000 every year.
• Productivity gains by not having developers tied up for weeks or months fixing security issues after a pen test. The exact productivity savings will depend on the size of your team. Teams of up to 30 devs see 10-14 weeks of productivity savings every year after they shift left with Cyber Chief. That's like having an extra developer for 2-3 months every year!
• Sales deals closed faster by being able to prove to your customers that you have invested in your security structure; that you value their sensitive data; and that they should trust you over your competitors who might still be relying on one-off annual pentests, despite updating their apps 4 times every day.

Investing in Cyber Chief is like investing in ETFs or mutual funds, put in little investments consistently and they add up to a big number over time. Are you open to investing a little now to save a lot over time?
