CyanoRisk Capability
Know Every API. Trust Every Transaction.
CyanoRisk API Security Posture Management discovers, inventories, classifies, and continuously assesses every REST, GraphQL, gRPC and SOAP API — connecting each to its applications, data, identities, and business services.
Modern enterprises expose thousands of APIs across applications, mobile, partners, cloud, and AI. CyanoRisk finds the shadow, zombie, and deprecated ones too, and scores every API against the OWASP API Top 10.
API Knowledge Graph
Every API Is a Web of Trust and Risk
An API is never just an endpoint — it is the seam between an application, its data, its identities, and a business service. CyanoRisk keeps that whole web connected.
Product Overview
From API Inventory to API Risk Intelligence
The Risk Fabric
API Risk Intelligence Built Into the Digital Risk Fabric
CyanoRisk connects every API with its applications, data, identities, gateways, threats, and business services.
An API becomes trustworthy when its data, auth, exposure, and business impact are all known.

Attack vs Defense
How an API Breach Happens — and How CyanoRisk Stops It
The most common API breach needs no exploit — just an unguarded object reference. Here is the chain, and where CyanoRisk breaks it.
How the attack unfolds
- An attacker enumerates the internet-facing APIs and finds an undocumented /v2 endpoint.
- A request to /orders/{id} returns another customer’s order — broken object-level authorization (OWASP API A01).
- With no rate limiting, the attacker scripts the ID range and harvests thousands of records.
- Cardholder and contact data is exfiltrated to an external host.
- The loss surfaces weeks later as fraud, breach notification, and regulatory exposure.
How CyanoRisk protects
- CyanoRisk discovers the /v2 endpoint — including shadow and zombie APIs — with its owner and gateway.
- It classifies the response as PCI cardholder data and flags the API as sensitive and internet-facing.
- The assessment detects the missing object-level authorization and absent rate limit before release.
- Object-level auth and rate limiting are enforced at the gateway; the finding routes to the API platform team with an SLA.
- Evidence is captured, the business service is marked contained, and the executive dashboard reflects reduced risk.
