Apigee for CISOs

Apigee for CISOs positions API security as a control plane for risk governance rather than a point solution. The platform maps findings to PCI-DSS 4.0, SOC 2 Type II, and OWASP API Top 10 (2023), enabling audit evidence collection and control validation across distributed services. It supports governance workflows by providing continuous monitoring, role-based dashboards, and compliance reporting artifacts that align with enterprise risk frameworks.

Designed for non-intrusive assessment, the scanner operates as a read-only black-box tool that fits into existing security operations. It requires no agents, SDKs, or code access, and completes scans in under a minute using GET, HEAD, and text-only POST methods. Authenticated scanning enforces domain verification and strict header allowlists, ensuring credentials are scoped and safe. Results integrate with ticketing, CI/CD gates, and SIEM pipelines, allowing security teams to triage and track API risk without disrupting development velocity.

The platform detects issues across 12 categories aligned to OWASP API Top 10 (2023), including Authentication bypass, BOLA/IDOR, BFLA/Privilege Escalation, and SSRF. It parses OpenAPI 3.0, 3.1, and Swagger 2.0 definitions with recursive $ref resolution, cross-referencing spec security schemes against runtime behavior. Findings related to PCI-DSS 4.0 and SOC 2 Type II controls are surfaced with remediation guidance, helping you prepare for audits and validate implemented controls without claiming certification.

Multi-channel delivery options reduce coordination overhead across engineering and security. The Web Dashboard centralizes scan management, score trends, and report downloads, while the CLI enables local developer testing. GitHub Actions integration enforces quality gates in pipelines, and the MCP Server allows AI coding assistants to initiate scans contextually. Continuous monitoring on Pro and Enterprise tiers provides diff detection, scheduled rescans, and HMAC-SHA256 signed webhooks to keep risk posture current at scale.

middleBrick is a scanning tool and does not replace human expertise for business logic or advanced threat modeling. It does not perform active SQL injection or command injection testing, nor does it detect blind SSRF or subtle logic flaws. The platform surfaces findings relevant to compliance evidence and supports audit preparation, but it does not guarantee or certify adherence to HIPAA, GDPR, ISO 27001, NIST, or other regulatory frameworks. Security teams should treat scan output as one input to a broader risk management process.
