Salt Security and Wiz Join Forces to Combine Cloud and API Security

Salt's API security intelligence — vulnerabilities, threats, and compliance risks — now seamlessly integrated into Wiz

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Salt Security, a leading API security company, today announced its expanded partnership and new integration with Wiz, the leader in cloud security. The integration between Salt Security and Wiz enables organizations to detect, comprehend, and respond to both API security posture gaps and critical risks directly within their cloud security infrastructure.

The complexity and size of modern cloud deployments, which often leverage API gateways, pose distinct security challenges for organizations. Traditional security tools cannot evaluate API posture and provide a comprehensive analysis of API traffic required to identify advanced threats. Salt Security's API Protection Platform tackles these dual issues, delivering continuous API discovery, runtime protection enhanced by behavioral analysis for threat detection, and essential posture governance features.

The integration between Salt Security and Wiz enhances cloud security by directly feeding Salt's API security intelligence into the Wiz platform. Salt's deep understanding of API behavior enriches Wiz's cloud context, helping teams proactively secure APIs and accelerate response to emerging threats. With this integration, the insights derived from Salt can be viewed directly in the Wiz security graph, allowing security teams to visualize API posture challenges alongside other cloud security threats and risks identified by Wiz. By linking posture assessments and runtime events to potential attack pathways and affected cloud resources within Wiz, organizations gain a comprehensive and actionable view of their entire attack surface.

"The partnership between Salt Security and Wiz gives customers a clearer view of their API risk — enriching Wiz's context with detailed insights that help identify posture gaps and potential attack paths," said Oron Noah, VP of Product Extensibility & Partnerships at Wiz. "By combining Salt's API intelligence with Wiz's cloud visibility, we're helping teams better understand which issues matter most so they can reduce risk faster and scale their API ecosystems with confidence."

WIN enables Salt Security and Wiz customers to benefit from:

• Unified Visibility of API Posture and Threats: The integration provides organizations with a single-pane-of-glass view in Wiz, combining Salt's API posture assessments and threat detection with Wiz's comprehensive cloud security platform. This enables teams to identify and remediate API posture vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, with full context being provided by Wiz Defend.
• Contextualized Risk Assessment with Toxic Combination and Attack Path Visibility: By combining Salt's API insights with Wiz's Security Graph, organizations can see how API posture gaps contribute to toxic combinations and create potential attack paths across their environment — helping teams focus on the risks that truly matter.
• Improved Compliance: Organizations using Wiz can streamline compliance efforts by using Salt to identify API posture gaps that violate regulatory requirements or internal security policies.
• Efficient Remediation and Streamlined Incident Response: Teams can prioritize remediation efforts based on the severity of posture vulnerabilities and their potential impact on the overall cloud environment and respond quickly and effectively to active API attacks, all visualized within Wiz.
• Automated Workflows: The integration allows for automatic incident creation in Wiz when API threat thresholds are met, enhancing investigation and remediation.

"APIs are fundamental to driving cloud adoption, however securing API ecosystems within these environments has become a paramount concern," said Roey Eliyahu, co-founder and CEO, Salt Security. "Our partnership and integration with Wiz significantly enhances API security in the cloud. By fusing in-depth API posture and attack intelligence with robust cloud security insights on a unified platform, organizations can augment their defenses, ensure rapid incident response, and safeguard essential assets. Our integration with platforms like Wiz empower organizations to secure their APIs and cloud environments with the utmost confidence."

Today's news builds upon Salt's longstanding partnership with Wiz. Salt was one of the first vendors to join the Wiz Integration (WIN) platform in 2023 and since then, the two companies have collaborated closely to build integrations that enhance API security and bolster threat detection across cloud environments.
