The latest release of 42Crunch’s API security platform fully supports for Kubernetes environments, helping organizations automate API security and implement zero-trust security architectures that protect individual microservices.

42Crunch security deploys a 20 MB micro API firewall to protect microservices from attacks or vulnerabilities. The micro API firewall is deployed in sidecar proxy mode within Kubernetes pods, and incurs only sub-millisecond latencies when enforcing API security. As a result, individual API security policies do not have to be written and maintained manually.

The 42Crunch also provides a suite of features for integration with DevSecOps pipelines. This helps automate security across the API lifecycle. These features include:

• AUDIT: More than 200 security audit tests run against the OpenAPI specification detail how developers can strengthen APIs.
• SCAN: Live scans of API endpoints help discover potential vulnerabilities and discrepancies of API implementations versus API contracts.
• PROTECT: A launch service for the micro API firewall helps apply policies and protect APIs.
