ZeroThreat Launches AI-Driven API Security Scanner to Tackle Surge in Automated Cyberattacks

CHICAGO - Aug. 25, 2025 - PRLog -- The surge of cyberattacks has increased dramatically, and APIs have been the most targeted by tech and finance teams. In response to growing security gaps, ZeroThreat has introduced an AI-powered API security scanner built for today's fast-paced development cycles. It's built to keep modern applications protected without interrupting the flow of shipping code.

With more teams adopting microservices and real-time integrations, the attack surface has grown faster than traditional tools can keep up. That's why API Security Testing is no longer a once-a-quarter task. It needs to happen continuously, across every release cycle. ZeroThreat's scanner helps teams stay ahead by identifying misconfigurations, broken auth, and exposed data points, before attackers do.

Over the past year, teams in fintech, SaaS, and enterprise tech have seen a noticeable rise in attacks aimed at public APIs. These aren't the usual perimeter breaches, they often slip in through logic issues, weak authentication, or unsecured data paths. This new scanner steps in where traditional tools fall short, embedding directly into CI/CD workflows and scanning each API endpoint in real time.

Most traditional tools still depend on manual configuration or only run after deployment—often when it's too late. Instead of waiting until something breaks, ZeroThreat makes security testing part of how teams build every day. It's built for speed and context integrating directly into workflows so developers can catch API flaws as they go. Whether it's REST, GraphQL, or async APIs, the scanner works seamlessly across legacy systems and microservices, ideal for teams shipping fast in high-stakes environments.

Some of the early users, especially in fintech, have already cut their time-to-fix for critical issues by over 60%. With detailed runtime analysis and clearer insight into what's actually exploitable, security teams can focus on what matters and spends less time chasing false alarms.

This release is part of ZeroThreat's broader push to simplify modern application security through intelligent automation. Its AI-powered API security scanner brings together behavioral analysis and fuzzing to detect vulnerabilities with near-zero false positives, saving hours of manual triage and reducing security debt across teams.
