AI-Powered API Security

Stop API Attacks
Before They Reach Your Backend

Block SQL injection, XSS, and 40+ attack types with AI threat detection

Traditional WAFs miss modern API threats. G8KEPR understands API semantics, detects business logic abuse, and protects AI agents - catching attacks that signature-based tools miss.

What is API Security?

Understanding modern API threats and why traditional WAFs aren't enough

The Modern API Attack Surface

APIs are the backbone of modern applications. Every mobile app, SaaS platform, and microservice communicates via APIs. Attackers exploit APIs to steal data, manipulate business logic, and gain unauthorized access.

Injection Attacks
SQL injection: '; DROP TABLE users--
Broken Authentication
JWT tampering, session hijacking, credential stuffing
Business Logic Abuse
Price manipulation, inventory hoarding, privilege escalation
DDoS & Rate Abuse
API endpoint flooding, resource exhaustion, scraping bots

Why Traditional WAFs Fail

Traditional WAFs rely on signature-based detection and regex patterns. They miss context-aware attacks, business logic abuse, and AI-specific threats. APIs need semantic understanding.

No Context Awareness
Can't detect "user is trying to access another user's data"
Signature-Based Only
Misses zero-day attacks and novel exploit techniques
Ignores Business Logic
Can't detect "user bought 1000 items at $0.01 each"
No AI Protection
Unaware of prompt injection, MCP tool abuse, LLM attacks

How G8KEPR Secures APIs

Multi-layer defense that understands your API's semantics and business logic

API Request Analysis
1. Request Interception
POST /api/users/123/transfer { amount: 10000 }

Intercept every API request before it reaches your backend

2. Multi-Layer Threat Analysis
Parallel inspection across 6 security layers
SQL/XSS/XXE injection patterns
JWT validation, session integrity
Authorization: user owns resource?
Rate limits: exceeding quota?
Anomaly: unusual request pattern?
Business logic: price manipulation?
✓ Request Allowed
Forwarded to backend
2.3ms latency
🚫 Request Blocked
SQL injection detected
Alert sent, logged
