PALO ALTO, Calif., March 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Salt Security, a leading API security company, today announced that the company has been recognized as the Gold Award winner for API Management and Security in the 21st Annual 2025 Globee® Awards for Cybersecurity. This award celebrates Salt's transformative impact on API security, driven by its revolutionary threat defense innovations and profound dedication to innovative cybersecurity solutions.

While APIs are essential for modern applications, connecting enterprises to vital data and services, they simultaneously broaden attack surfaces, necessitating strong security measures. Salt Labs' Q1 2025 State of API Security Report found that 99% of respondents encountered API security issues within the past 12 months. Salt Security's flagship offering, the Salt Security API Protection Platform, stands as the industry's only solution, combining cloud-scale big data and advanced ML/AI to detect and prevent API attacks, including the elusive "low and slow" attacks.

"We are honored to receive this prestigious Globee Award, which validates our commitment to providing cutting-edge API security solutions," said Michael Callahan, Chief Marketing Officer at Salt Security. "In today's complex threat landscape, robust API security is crucial, and this recognition fuels our dedication to empowering organizations to protect their critical APIs."

Salt Security stands alone as the only API vendor to receive this award, further cementing its industry-leading position. Salt's API security platform is designed for operational simplicity, facilitating rapid integration and deployment. Organizations can achieve fast time to value, ensuring that their data and services are protected immediately, even while developers are in the process of hardening APIs. The platform's design allows for both runtime protection and developer insights, creating a comprehensive security posture that adapts to the evolving landscape of API vulnerabilities.

"Congratulations to Salt Security for their exceptional contributions to strengthening our digital world," said San Madan, President of the Globee Awards. "Salt Security's dedication, innovation, and leadership are not only driving cybersecurity forward but also inspiring the industry to reach new heights. We are proud to recognize and celebrate their success."

In addition to this award, Salt Security recently strengthened its alliance with CrowdStrike, unveiling an expansion of their partnership and  becoming the first API vendor to integrate with CrowdStrike's Next-Generation SIEM (NG-SIEM). This collaboration enhances threat detection and response capabilities, providing organizations with comprehensive visibility and context into API activity and broader system-level insights. By combining Salt's advanced API inspection capabilities with CrowdStrike's threat intelligence, the integration facilitates rapid identification and mitigation of sophisticated API-specific threats.

Salt's victory in the 21st Annual Globee Awards for Cybersecurity underscores its exceptional achievement, having been selected through a rigorous, data-driven evaluation process.
