Features

API Security Audit

Automated static analysis of OpenAPI and GraphQL definitions running over 200 security checks, scoring APIs 0-100 for vulnerability and compliance issues.

API Scan (DAST)

Dynamic API Security Testing that evaluates runtime API behavior against its OpenAPI contract, identifying vulnerabilities that appear only at runtime.

API Firewall

API-native micro firewall that enforces OpenAPI contract compliance at runtime, blocking malformed requests, unauthorized access, and API attacks.

API Discovery

Identifies and catalogs APIs across environments to provide full visibility into the API attack surface.

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions and other CI/CD pipeline integrations for automated security scanning in deployment workflows.

IDE Integration

Plugins for VS Code and IntelliJ/JetBrains IDEs that provide real-time OpenAPI editing, validation, and security feedback during API design.

OpenAPI Contract Security

Enforces security best practices in OpenAPI specifications covering authentication, data validation, input/output schemas, and transport security.

Kubernetes Support

Scand Manager provides a Kubernetes wrapper for running 42Crunch API Scan in containerized environments.

Use Cases

API Security Testing in CI/CD

Embed automated API security scanning into CI/CD pipelines via GitHub Actions to catch vulnerabilities before they reach production.
