Case Study: Sunwest Bank strengthens API security with APIsec

Sunwest Innovates & Strengthens Security with Automated Continuous API Testing

Sunwest Bank, a long-established banking institution, needed to secure a rapidly expanding API environment spanning internal, partner, and external teams. With complex business logic, strict regulatory requirements, and a desire to avoid slowing innovation, the bank turned to APIsec for a proactive API security approach.

APIsec implemented a pre-production, automated, continuous API testing solution that runs daily penetration tests, provides real-time risk updates, and integrates with Sunwest’s LMS for ongoing security training. According to Sunwest Bank, APIsec delivered strong coverage, faster progress from onboarding to value, improved responsiveness, and less friction across teams, helping the bank strengthen its API security program while supporting its “one team” model.
