Makes best-in-class API protection available for free to organizations of all sizes.

“What we figured is, okay, let's just make it super easy for anybody within an organization,” says Jeremy Snyder, CEO of FireTail.

FireTail has announced a free version of its enterprise-grade API security tools, making them accessible to developers and organizations of all sizes. “No need for bureaucracy, approvals, process, whatever. You want to understand if there's a risk and what that risk is, just on board, just get started. And that's where we really feel like the value of the free plan is. You can connect any of your existing cloud environments where you've started to build and run APIs in about 10 to 15 minutes. And in under half an hour, you'll have a clear picture of what some of the top risks to your environment are. And if you leave it running for even a little bit longer, you'll start to be able to observe behaviors and detect malicious activity as it's happening across your environment.”

In June, FireTail, a disruptor in API security, unveiled free access for all to its cutting-edge API security platform. This initiative opens the door for developers and organizations of any size to access enterprise-level API security tools. In this podcast we learn:

FireTail's unique combination of open-source code libraries, inline API call evaluation, security posture management, and centralized audit trails helps eliminate vulnerabilities and protect APIs in real-time.

The free plan covers up to 5 APIs, includes 1M API call logs per month, offers 7 days of data retention, and provides clear developer support.

“They hear these promises about ephemeral infrastructure and scale up and scale down and scale out and scale in and really only consume the exact amount of infrastructure that you need. But what they're finding is that if they don't change their apps to make that possible, they're just running servers on somebody else's platform. As they go through that second transformation, inevitably, they come across a point where they have to start making decisions about architectures and APIs start bubbling up to the forefront. They take monolithic applications; they break them down into components that all talk over APIs. They take third-party integrations that they are starting to bring on board, and that all happens over APIs.”

Perfect for developers and small to medium-sized organizations needing to secure up to 5 APIs, FireTail's free tier includes comprehensive API security features such as discovery, inventory, assessment, detection and response, and inline runtime protection.
