About AppSentinels

AppSentinels is an AI-powered API security platform designed to discover, test, and protect APIs, AI agents, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) workflows. It focuses on business logic security, understanding decisions made and actions executed across these components to prevent unauthorized or unintended operations. The platform unifies API security, agentic AI security, and MCP security into a single control plane, enabling full-lifecycle protection from discovery and posture management to continuous red-teaming and runtime protection. It uses a Business Logic Graph to map and govern every agent, tool, and API interaction in real time, enforcing ownership, intent, and sequence to detect and block harmful chains that other tools miss. Deployable on-prem, in the cloud, or in hybrid environments, AppSentinels integrates with over 50+ tools across API gateways, cloud platforms, AI stacks, and data stores. It provides continuous discovery of shadow APIs and AI agents, automated penetration testing, real-time threat blocking, and compliance governance. The platform is designed for enterprise-grade scale, securing billions of API calls and AI-driven executions daily without performance trade-offs. AppSentinels claims to protect over 150,000 unique API endpoints and secure over 250 billion API calls monthly. It is recognized by GigaOm as a leader and outperformer in API security, and is mentioned in Gartner Hype Cycles and Market Guides. Through the AiDOOS marketplace, AppSentinels can be deployed and managed with enhanced automation and adoption support, ensuring seamless integration into existing infrastructure and workflows.

Challenges It Solves

  • APIs have complex attack surfaces including authentication gaps, logic flaws, and undocumented endpoints that traditional WAFs miss.
  • AI agents can exploit authorized APIs to perform unauthorized or unintended actions without detection.
  • MCP servers and tool interactions are often ungoverned, leading to threats like tool poisoning, prompt injection, and shadow MCP servers.
  • Business logic abuse, such as manipulating workflows or bypassing rate limits, is difficult to detect with conventional security tools.

"AppSentinels: A Protective Approach to Digital Security"
It actively monitors and protects devices in real time. There's always a balance between security and privacy, and some users might feel uneasy about the access level required by security apps like AppSentinels. 1) Enhanced security. 2) Peace of mind. 3) Saves time.

"In-Depth API Security with Strong Business Logic Coverage"
-Automated discovery of shadow and undocumented APIs -Advanced stateful API security testing beyond OWASP checks -Strong runtime detection of business logic abuse -Responsive and technically capable support team Some advanced detections needed tuning to fit our environment perfectly. Our experience with AppSentinels has been positive in securing APIs and MCPs. It gave us deep visibility into our API estate and uncovered security and business logic issues that typical API gateways and WAFs missed. Deployment was smooth, and it scaled well in our setup.

"Great for API Discovery and Classification"
It aids in API discovery and classification. Nothing else. It's a solid tool and very helpful. It assists me in grouping APIs and finding vulnerabilities.
E
Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)
"Clear Agent Interaction Visibility to Identify Risky Behavior Quickly"
We can see how agents interact with MCP tools, APIs, and business workflows, making it easier to spot risky behavior. The platform covers many AI and app security use cases, so there's some learning and tuning involved. It helps us identify risks across agents, MCP/tools, APIs, and workflows in one place rather than evaluating each separately.

"Comprehensive API and AI Agent Visibility with Discovery, Testing, and Runtime Protection"
AppSentinels provides far deeper visibility into our API environment and business workflows than traditional security tools. The combination of API discovery, automated testing, and runtime protection is effective. There's an initial learning curve to understand workflows and tune the platform. It helps reduce API security blind spots and catch business logic vulnerabilities before they reach production.

"AppSentinels Enhances Runtime Visibility into AI Agents"
AppSentinels has improved our visibility into what our AI agents do at runtime, especially when interacting with tools, APIs, and business workflows. Since AI workflows are still evolving, teams must spend time defining acceptable agent and tool actions for their use cases. We use it to secure agent-to-tool and agent-to-API interactions. It helps discover AI assets, test agentic workflows, and identify business-logic risks.

"Great Visibility into Complex API Environments - High-Quality Findings & Faster Investigation"
The findings have been consistently top-notch. We spend less time on low-priority alerts because the platform gives enough business context to understand why an issue matters. Some integrations need extra configuration depending on our security stack. Documentation is good, though we sometimes needed support for advanced deployments. Our API ecosystem has expanded quickly, making inventory management challenging. AppSentinels provided a unified view across cloud and on-premises, helping us prioritize real business risks rather than just listing vulnerabilities.

"Complete Discovery, Automated Testing, and Runtime Protection for Security"
This platform combines discovery, automated testing, and runtime protection in one place, eliminating the need for multiple tools at different stages. Agentic AI security is relatively new, so mapping capabilities to existing security processes required some upfront work. We use it to enhance visibility and security for our AI agents, tools, APIs, and workflows. It helps us spot risky behavior, tool misuse, and authorization issues.

"AppSentinels Gives Clear Visibility Across Agents, Tools, APIs, and MCP"
When we started exploring MCP and tool-based AI workflows, our primary worry was understanding which tools agents could access and what actions they could perform. AppSentinels offers visibility into agents, MCP servers, tools, APIs, and their connections. Some security processes still need to evolve alongside the technology, as the MCP ecosystem is rapidly changing. It helps us identify exposed MCP and AI assets, understand agent-tool relationships, and detect potential misuse or unauthorized actions in AI workflows.

"Crucial for Securing APIs, MCPs, and AI Agents"
AppSentinels excels at providing detailed visibility into my virtual environment, covering types of APIs, MCPs, and Agentic AI. It helps me pinpoint specific features and assess risk severity, whether it's informational, severe, or medium. Clicking on each risk type offers remediation strategies to address and prevent future issues. The tool effectively tackles many threats in the virtual ecosystem and guides best practices by highlighting vulnerabilities and potential dangers. Its integration with over 50 tools, like Kubernetes, Teams, Hubspot, Google Cloud, and Kong, is remarkable. The initial setup was seamless and impressive. I wholeheartedly recommend it to friends, family, and colleagues. One area for improvement is customer service and support for larger teams. I rely on AppSentinels for full API visibility and to understand the needs of my DevOps and CISO teams, helping identify threats, vulnerabilities, and risk severities, while providing remediation strategies and a clearer understanding of threats in our environment.
