42Crunch

42Crunch provides an API security platform that enables organizations to implement security throughout the API lifecycle, from development to runtime. The company's platform offers a combined shift-left and shield-right approach, allowing developers to implement security rules early in the design phase while also enforcing API security policies at runtime. Key features of the 42Crunch platform include API Audit, which performs over 300 security checks on API definitions, API Scan for dynamic testing of APIs, and API Protect, a containerized micro-API firewall for runtime protection. The platform integrates with popular integrated development environments (IDEs) like Microsoft Visual Studio, JetBrains IntelliJ, and Eclipse, enabling developers to conduct security testing directly within their preferred tools. As of 2023, 42Crunch reported that its services were used by over 800,000 developers worldwide, including Global 2500 enterprises and government agencies.
