Case Study: DeinDeal improves API discovery and protection with Salt Security

DeinDeal discovers 1 hidden API with Salt Security

DeinDeal, a leading Swiss flash sales platform, faced a significant security challenge after merging with another company and transitioning to a full API-based infrastructure. They were accustomed to traditional web security tools but found these were ineffective for protecting their APIs, leaving them vulnerable to abuse and without visibility into legitimate versus malicious traffic. This need for deep behavioral analysis led them to engage with Salt Security and its API Protection Platform.

Salt Security implemented a solution that provided dynamic API discovery, giving DeinDeal a complete inventory of all APIs, including old and unknown ones. The platform used machine learning to baseline normal behavior and automatically block attacks, while also providing remediation insights to help developers fix bugs. For DeinDeal, the results included discovering and securing forgotten APIs, preventing forced app updates for customers, and gaining full confidence that their core systems are protected.
