Data Theorem, Inc., a leading provider of modern application security, announced that Gartner has recognized Data Theorem as a Representative Vendor in the Gartner Market Guide for API Protection.1 This acknowledgment underscores Data Theorem’s commitment to delivering comprehensive API security solutions that protect organizations from emerging threats.
The 2024 Gartner Market Guide highlights that “cybersecurity attacks that use APIs as an attack vector constitute a major threat to organizations and their sensitive data.” The new report emphasizes the increasing need for specialized API protection products to secure APIs from exploits, abuse, and access violations.
According to the Gartner report, “APIs — especially shadow and dormant ones — are causing data breaches among organizations that, on average, exceed the magnitude of other breaches. Many of these breaches can be attributed to access control misconfigurations.” The report further recommends that security leaders adopt advanced API protection capabilities to mitigate these risks effectively.
“We are honored to be recognized by Gartner as a Representative Vendor in the API protection space,” said Doug Dooley, Chief Operating Officer of Data Theorem. “We believe our inclusion in this report validates our efforts to provide robust API security solutions that not only discover and manage API exposures but also offer real-time protection against potential threats. As organizations increasingly rely on APIs to drive their digital initiatives, securing these critical interfaces has never been more important.”
The Gartner Market Guide also notes that API protection products deliver key functionalities such as API discovery, security posture management, and runtime protection. These capabilities are essential for identifying API exposures and preventing unauthorized access and data breaches. Data Theorem‘s API Secure product is designed to address these needs, providing comprehensive protection for APIs and their underlying cloud resources.
