Astra API Security Platform discovers every undocumented, shadow, zombie & dormant API in your infrastructure using real-time traffic analysis and performs offensive DAST scans on the APIs with 15,000+ test cases, which go beyond just OWASP API Top 10
👋 Hey PH fam, we’re excited to introduce Astra API Security Platform 🚀
👉 What it is
Astra is a purpose-built API security platform that helps teams discover, scan, and secure every API in their environment—shadow, dormant, undocumented, and everything in between.
👉 Who it’s for & use cases
Security-conscious engineering teams who need visibility into their growing API sprawl
CISOs & CXOs looking to prevent breaches and rollout delays caused by API security issues
Developers building AI agents, apps, and services who want to ensure no data leaks or auth flaws creep in
👉 Why it’s different
Unlike generic scanners, Astra is built for APIs first. It goes beyond spec checks with real-time traffic analysis and AI-powered logic testing—catching risks like BOLA, IDOR, PII exposure, and shadow APIs before attackers do.
👉 Key Features
🔍 Auto-discovers APIs with live traffic analysis
🧪 15,000+ DAST test cases (OWASP API Top 10, auth flaws, BOLA, IDOR, etc.)
🕵️ Detects zombie, shadow, orphan APIs missed in docs
🤖 AI-powered logic testing for real-world risks
📦 Integrations with AWS, GCP, Azure, Nginx, Postman & Burp Suite
🔒 Detects secret leaks & PII exposures
⚡ Supports REST, GraphQL, internal, and mobile APIs with flexible SaaS deployment
APIs are the #1 starting point for breaches today—don’t let blind spots cost you.
The "zombie & dormant API" detection is something I rarely see mentioned. That's often where risk hides. Offensive DAST scans with 15,000+ test feel robust.
API sprawl is only growing. What I like here is the mix of discovery and testing, it's not just visibility but actionable insights.
The shadow API angle caught my attention. I had a security incident recently because of one. Offensive scanning feels like a strong differentiator. Does it prioritize remediation guidance too or mainly detection?
I think focusing on undocumented APIs is key. Those often hide the most vulnerabilities. The 15,000+ test cases make me wonder: does it continuously update the library as new attack vectors emerge?
API security feels overwhelming at scale. The way it combines real traffic analysis with testing seems practical. I'd love to hear how it integrates with existing DevSecOps pipelines and CI/CD workflows.
Discovering dormant and zombie APIs is such an underrated capability. Most companies don't realize how dangerous they are until it's late. The offensive DAST approach makes this feel proactive rather than just compliance-driven.
Astra goes beyond surface-level API security discovering undocumented, shadow, zombie, and dormant APIs through real-time traffic analysis. Then it hits them with 15,000+ offensive DAST test cases, far beyond the OWASP Top 10. Total visibility, serious protection.
Following Astra for a long time, happy to see this update. Congrats! Astra team and @shikhilsharma 🤩
Really interesting. So many tools say they do API security but barely scratch the surface. Offensive-style testing on live traffic feels like the right approach.
Big congratulations to Astra API Security team for your Product Hunt launch. Excited to see how this will empower developers and organisations to secure their API’s effortlessly.
Astra feels like the watchdog every modern API stack needs. I love how it doesn’t just stop at the OWASP Top 10 but goes deeper with 15,000+ test cases, that’s serious offensive security. Astra basically shines a flashlight into every dark corner of your infrastructure and then stress-tests it for you.
Shadow APIs are becoming the new weak link. I like how it puts visibility first and builds protection around it. Feels like you're bridging the exact gap attackers have been exploiting for years.
Really like the thought of combining discovery, scanning and offensive testing. Security often fails because tools are siloed. It's unified platform approach looks like it could save teams both time and unexpected headaches.
