Case Study: Leading Digital Financial Services Company achieves real-time API attack prevention and accelerated development with Salt Security

Leading Digital Financial Services Company - Customer Case Study

Leading Digital Financial Services Company is an award‑winning online bank delivering a wide range of retail and investment products and built on API‑first, cloud‑native services. The bank found that existing WAFs, bot mitigation tools, and API gateways couldn’t adequately protect its APIs, and that purely shift‑left security in pre‑production was slowing development. To address this, the company engaged Salt Security and its API Protection Platform to add runtime protection alongside development‑focused insights.

Salt Security deployed its AI‑powered, behavioral API Protection Platform to continuously discover APIs, map sensitive data and PII, and provide runtime detection, response, and remediation insights. The Salt solution stopped attacks missed by the WAF and API gateway (including OWASP API Security Top 10 vectors), eliminated manual auditing by automatically surfacing shadow/zombie APIs and PII exposure, and enabled faster, safer development across vulnerability management, fraud prevention, InfoSec, API development, and compliance teams.
