Metlo is an open source API security tool you can setup in < 15 minutes that inventories your endpoints, detects bad actors and blocks malicious traffic in real time.

With Metlo you can:

  • Detect API attacks in real time.
  • Automatically block malicious actors.
  • Create an Inventory of all your API Endpoints and Sensitive Data.
  • Proactively test your APIs before they go into production.

Features

  • Endpoint Discovery - Metlo scans network traffic and creates an inventory of every single endpoint in your API.
  • Sensitive Data Scannning - Each endpoint is scanned for PII data and given a risk score.
  • Vulnerability Discovery - Get Alerts for issues like unauthenticated endpoints returning sensitive data, No HSTS headers, PII data in URL params, Open API Spec Diffs and more
  • API Security Testing - Build security tests directly in Metlo with a simple HTTP Request editor and javascript assertions.
  • CI/CD Integration - Integrate with your CI/CD to find issues in development and staging.
  • Attack Detection - Our ML Algorithms build a model for baseline API behavior. Any deviation from this baseline is surfaced to your security team as soon as possible.
  • Attack Context - Metlo’s UI gives you full context around any attack to help quickly fix the vulnerability.

API Testing

  • Metlo’s suite of automated tests and our security testing framework let you find vulnerabilities in development.
  • Our built in testing framework helps you get to 100% Security Coverage on your highest risk APIs
  • Integrates directly with your CI/CD 3808
