Hybrid API Security: The Best of Both Worlds
In API security, organizations frequently encounter a tough decision: whether to opt for the flexibility and scalability of a SaaS solution or the data control and privacy of an on-premises deployment. Salt Security's hybrid deployment option provides a solution that combines the advantages of a SaaS solution with the assurance of data privacy, offering the best of both worlds for organizations.
The Challenges of Traditional Deployment Models- SaaS: While SaaS solutions offer easy deployment, scalability, and access to the latest features, they can raise concerns about data privacy and compliance, especially for organizations handling sensitive information.
- On-Premises: On-premises deployments offer greater data control but require significant IT resources for maintenance, updates, and scaling.
Salt Security's hybrid deployment option balances the advantages of SaaS and on-premises solutions. It combines a local, self-contained "edge" component called the Hybrid Server with the power of the Salt AI-infused platform.
- Data Privacy: The Hybrid Server processes API traffic locally, ensuring that sensitive data never leaves an organization's environment. Only aggregated metadata and malicious events are transmitted to the Salt cloud for further analysis and threat intelligence sharing.
- Scalability and Performance: The Hybrid Server can handle up to 9 billion API calls monthly, ensuring optimal performance even in high-traffic environments. It also seamlessly scales across multiple environments, data centers, and clouds.
- Ease of Management: Salt Security handles the maintenance, updates, and monitoring of the Hybrid Server, freeing up your IT resources and reducing operational overhead.
- Deep API Visibility and Posture Governance: The Hybrid Server model provides unparalleled visibility into all API traffic, enabling organizations to comprehensively understand their API landscape and identify potential security risks and compliance gaps. This deep visibility, coupled with Salt's AI-powered posture governance capabilities, allows organizations to proactively address vulnerabilities and ensure their APIs' integrity.
- Advanced Threat Protection: The Hybrid Server leverages Salt's cloud-based AI and ML engine to detect and prevent sophisticated API attacks in real time. This ensures you benefit from the latest threat intelligence and behavioral models, even with a local deployment.
- Data Sovereignty: An organization's sensitive data remains within its infrastructure, ensuring compliance and mitigating privacy risks.
- Effortless Scalability: The Hybrid Server's capacity and adaptability ensure seamless performance, even as an organization's API ecosystem expands.
- Focus on What Matters: Salt Security takes care of the technicalities, allowing IT and security teams to concentrate on strategic security initiatives.
- Proactive Risk Mitigation: Gain a deep understanding of an organization's API landscape to identify and address vulnerabilities before they are exploited.
- Stay Ahead of the Threat Landscape: Benefit from real-time, AI-powered threat detection and prevention, even with a local deployment.
Salt Security offers a hybrid deployment option that provides a solution for organizations looking to balance SaaS's advantages with data privacy and control requirements. By merging local data processing with a cloud-based AI/ML platform, Salt Security delivers a robust and adaptable API security platform that can cater to any organization's needs.
If you want to learn more about Salt and how we can help you on your API Security journey through discovery, posture management, and run-time threat protection, please contact us, schedule a demo, or check out our website.

What You Get with AKS, EKS, GKE vs. Managed Kubernetes-as-a-Service
Managed Kubernetes is a service offered by cloud providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure (Azure), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of Kubernetes clusters. These cloud providers each offer their own “flavor” of managed K8s: Microsoft’s Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE). All of these services provide powerful capabilities that make it easier to deploy Kubernetes. Fairwinds Managed Kubernetes-as-a-Service is a people-led offering that manages the entire underlying Kubernetes platform and all the third-party tooling organizations need to make the most of K8s’ powerful capabilities.
