Cloudentity announced a partnership with Signal Sciences to provide a holistic approach for enterprise companies looking to secure their web applications and APIs.

By combining Signal Sciences' Web Application Firewall (WAF) with Cloudentity's expertise in API Identity and Authorization, enterprise customers can protect themselves from major cyber security risks, including all 10 of the most critical risks in API security as published by the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP).

"We saw a massive increase in API attacks during 2019 and know that as customers adopt the API economy as part of their Digital Transformation efforts API abuse will be the most common attack vector for data breaches and hacks," said Nathanael Coffing, Co-Founder and Chief Strategist of Cloudentity. "By partnering with best-in-class companies like Signal Sciences, our customers are prepared for this future."

"As a key component of business innovation and software development, the importance of incorporating API security into any strategic security plan cannot be overstated," said Zane Lackey, CSO and Co-Founder of Signal Sciences. "The combination of Signal Sciences and Cloudentity provides a powerful end-to-end solution to help companies effectively protect their APIs and mitigate the latest attacks."

Cloudentity's Authorization Control Plane and MicroPerimeter provide API visibility and protection at scale, complementing Signal Sciences next-gen WAF in cloud-native and traditional application architecture; providing an integrated risk-based approach to API security and governance.
