Cloud Connect for AWS Gateways Delivers Full API Inventory and Posture Governance—No Traffic Required, No Agents to Deploy, No Waiting
Salt Security, a leader in API protection, announced Cloud Connect for AWS, an industry‑first agentless solution that delivers full API visibility in minutes. This breakthrough eliminates the need for traditional agents, sensor deployments or prolonged professional services engagement, empowering teams to finally eliminate API blind spots—and fast.
Discover Hidden APIs in Minutes
Gone are the days of waiting weeks or months to identify scattered endpoints. Cloud Connect for AWS instantly scans your AWS infrastructure to uncover every API—shadow, zombie, or legacy—including gateways you didn’t even know existed.
“It was a surprise to the team the number of shadow APls we had in our organization. Salt helped us find those quickly and constantly look for new ones. The cloud connection was simple to implement and gave us inventory data in less than 5 minutes.” – Top 10 Global Airline
Continuous, Real-Time Governance
Visibility isn’t a one-time snapshot—it’s a continuously updated view. As your AWS environment evolves, Cloud Connect automatically refreshes your API inventory, so you always know exactly what’s exposed and can enforce posture control with confidence.
Fast, Frictionless Setup
Deployment couldn’t be easier. With a one‑click integration via secure AWS CloudFormation and minimal read‑only permissions, organizations are up and running in under five minutes—no agents, no traffic routing, no heavy lifting.

Agentless Architecture: The Secret Sauce
Instead of analyzing traffic or deploying sensors, Cloud Connect for AWS polls AWS services like API Gateway directly to build a real-time map of your API ecosystem. It’s a clean, direct, and significantly faster approach.
Built for Security and Compliance
Once your landscape is visible, Salt Security helps you find risky endpoints, track posture changes, and stay aligned with security standards. Governance becomes proactive instead of reactive.
Why Now: AWS Environments Are Growing Too Fast
APIs are multiplying across AWS environments faster than ever. “Flip the script” on slow, complex deployments—teams can now secure their APIs in minutes, not months.
“Salt Cloud Connect for AWS flips the script on how API security gets done,” said Roey Eliyahu, CEO and co‑founder of Salt Security. “While other vendors require troves of information and heavy deployments, we give you complete visibility in minutes with no agents, no sensors, no friction. You connect, and it just works.”
