Case Study: Upvest strengthens API security testing with APIsec

Upvest Highlights the Value of Pre-Production API Security Testing

Upvest, a fintech company that provides an Investment API, faced significant security challenges due to their agile development model, which required continuous testing of hundreds of complex API endpoints. Their Chief Security Officer knew that traditional human-led penetration testing couldn't achieve the necessary depth and breadth of testing to keep up with their pace of development, especially given their unique business logic and authentication requirements.

By implementing APIsec's automated API security testing solution, Upvest was able to run daily penetration tests against their latest API builds. APIsec provided comprehensive coverage by understanding the API's unique business logic and complex authentication model, allowing vulnerabilities to be flagged and addressed in pre-production. The vendor's platform was integrated and improving Upvest's security posture within the first week, providing vital real-time updates on risks.
