Case Study: Returns and Tracking Logistics Provider achieves API contract enforcement and sensitive-data protection with Cequence Security

Returns and Tracking Logistics Provider - Customer Case Study

Returns and Tracking Logistics Provider, which supplies tracking and returns APIs to hundreds of retail partners, was struggling with API contract violations, shadow APIs, and the risk of sensitive data leakage as its partner ecosystem grew. To gain runtime visibility and enforce partner-specific API contracts it turned to Cequence Security, deploying Cequence API Sentinel alongside Cequence Bot Defense to monitor and protect its APIs.

Cequence Security used API Sentinel to upload each partner’s API specification, compare live traffic to those contracts, and surface non‑conformance, authentication issues, and sensitive data leakage via a Sensitive Data Dashboard, while Bot Defense detected malicious bot activity and business-logic abuse. The deployment gave the Returns and Tracking Logistics Provider a complete inventory of internal and external APIs, rapid detection and remediation of high‑risk APIs, and prevention of potential data exposures that could jeopardize partnerships and compliance, delivering an end-to-end API security solution.
