AI agents are no longer theory—they’re live, autonomous actors making decisions, calling APIs, and driving transactions across multi-cloud environments. As enterprises shift from predictive to proactive AI, identity must keep up with AI’s scale, speed, and complexity. At Strata, we see OAuth 2.0 as the best foundation for agentic identity today. And we’ve engineered Maverics...

Highlights:

• Discover every API and API Gateway across your entire AWS environment.
• Achieve a complete, accurate inventory in minutes, not weeks or months.
• Deploy instantly with a simple, agentless connection.

Traditionally, securing APIs in AWS has involved a frustrating trade-off. Obtaining a full view of your API Fabric requires weeks or months of deploying various agents, setting up traffic analysis, and enduring lengthy professional services engagements. The outcome? An unacceptably slow time-to-value that keeps you unaware of potential risks for too long. The main issue hasn't only been locating APIs, but also the extensive wait to identify them.

But what if that trade-off is no longer necessary? What if you could completely avoid the complexity and waiting? Envision having a comprehensive, precise overview of your entire AWS API landscape in just minutes, not months, with a solution so straightforward that you could get started today.

Introducing Salt Cloud Connect for AWS: Your API Overview in Minutes

We are thrilled to introduce Salt Cloud Connect for AWS, an innovative solution for API discovery. This is an industry-first solution that operates without any traffic, allowing you to receive instant answers.

With a simple one-click integration, Salt Cloud Connect provides a comprehensive inventory of all APIs in your AWS environment within minutes. There are no agents to install, no delays due to traffic, and no complexities.

"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

From Months to Minutes: How Your Team Benefits

This isn't just another tool; it's a new way of working.

• You Can Finally See Everything, Today: That shadow API your dev team spun up for a quick test and forgot about? That zombie API gateway from a project that ended last year? Salt Cloud Connect finds them all, every forgotten API and every unknown gateway, eliminating hidden risks in minutes on day one.
• Your Inventory is Always Up-to-Date: Your AWS environment changes faster than ever. Salt Cloud Connect works continuously, automatically updating your inventory as new APIs are added or changed. You get a living, breathing view of your landscape without lifting a finger.
• You Can Govern with Confidence: Once you can see everything, you can properly govern it. Salt helps you instantly spot risky APIs, track their posture over time, and ensure you're staying compliant with security standards.
• Setup is Genuinely Simple: You can be fully up and running in minutes, not the weeks or months it takes to deploy other solutions. The solution uses a secure AWS CloudFormation template with minimal, read-only permissions for unparalleled ease of use.

The Secret to Instant, Agentless Discovery

Instead of relying on slow, cumbersome methods like traffic analysis or agents, Salt Cloud Connect securely and directly queries AWS services, including the AWS API Gateways, for a complete view of your API Fabric.  Think of it as a super-fast, automated auditor for your APIs that asks AWS, "Show me everything you have," and gets an immediate, comprehensive response detailing every API. This agentless approach is the key to its speed and simplicity.

Stop Guessing and Start Seeing

API security starts with visibility, and you shouldn't wait months to get it. Don't let another day pass with blind spots in your AWS environment. It’s time to move faster, stay secure, and take definitive control of your API Fabric today.

Salt Security will showcase these new capabilities in an upcoming webinar, “See your Blind Spots in Minutes, not Months: How Salt Security & AWS Simplify API Security,” taking place on July 9 at 9am PT/12pm ET. Register to attend here.

If you want to learn more about Salt and how we can help you on your API Security journey through discovery, posture governance, and run-time threat protection, please contact us, schedule a demo, or check out our website.

Sensitive data and secrets are leaking. How cloud security leaders can shut them down.

Despite the billions of dollars organizations are investing in cybersecurity, one of the most preventable threats persists: sensitive data and credentials exposed in publicly accessible cloud services. According to the Tenable Cloud Security Risk Report 2025, 9% of public cloud storage resources contain sensitive data — including personally identifiable information (PII), intellectual property (IP), Payment Card Industry (PCI) details, and protected health information (PHI).

Even more concerning, the report shows that over half of organizations using Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Container Service (ECS) task definitions and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud Run have, knowingly or not, at least one secret embedded in these services.

These exposures are concerning, as they are the kind of exploitable oversights attackers are already scanning for — and weaponizing.

Why this matters to security leaders

Exposed secrets — like API keys and encryption tokens — can open the door to attackers, enabling lateral movement, data exfiltration or full environment takeover.

This isn’t just a misconfiguration issue. It’s a governance gap, made worse by legacy security tooling and, in some cases, the mistaken perception that native cloud services provide sufficient protection.

What you should be doing now

Security leaders must shift from detection to prevention and improve their sensitive data protection by enforcing the following:

• Automated data discovery and classification: Know what data lives in your environment and continuously assess its sensitivity. This should be an ongoing, telemetry-driven effort — not a quarterly scan.
• Eliminate public access by default: Enforce least privilege for both data and network access. Public storage should be the rare exception.
• Employ enterprise-grade secrets management: Remove hardcoded secrets and implement cloud-native tools like AWS Secrets Manager and Microsoft Azure Key Vault.
• Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM): Use identity-intelligent CSPM to unify visibility across your cloud footprint and detect misconfigurations, secrets, and excessive permissions in real time.

Key takeaway: Exposed secrets and sensitive data aren’t obscure edge cases. They’re systemic risks hiding in plain sight — and must be eliminated before attackers exploit them.

Third-party risk management TPRM is a well-established pillar of enterprise security programs. Its focus is on evaluating vendors for financial health, operational resilience, and compliance. As digital ecosystems expanded, so did the attack surface, and TPRM began evolving. Enter Third-Party Cyber Risk Management (TPCRM): a more security-focused framework that assesses the cybersecurity posture of vendors, such as access controls, threat detection capabilities, and data protection protocols.
