We're super excited to announce version 3.0 of the Unified API Protection platform or UAP, as we call it. Significant new enhancements across all three of our product portfolio families, if you would, Discover, Protect, Comply and it really is an evolution of the platform.
One of the things that we're super excited to talk to today is the ability to, you know, build off of a unified API inventory.
For a full comprehensive API protection lifecycle, you need to have multiple components. You need to have discovery, inventory, compliance, threat detection and testing and things to that effect.
But if I were to paint a picture, if as a customer, you were to have one place in the product where you can see all of your APIs, see how many of these are actually seeing traffic, which of those APIs that see traffic are visible from the outside, are not protected by Cequence or have very rudimentary protection in the context of a WAF or a firewall, but do not have API testing or do not have adequate API testing.
That is a great place to start with with respect to how do you best protect your enterprise because that's where the bad guys are focused. So now with the with the way we do all these products, all these components start to talk to each other and you get to answer those questions very easily. What portion of my external attack surface, which is just what's visible to my attackers, is actually not protected by my cloud infrastructure, not protected by my API gateways, because that's where they're going to be used to breach your enterprise.
And we're now in a position to kind of not only call that out, but call that out, you know, from the perspective of a threat and do this in a couple of minutes as opposed to, you know, in some cases it can take weeks and months to even onboard an application. So the speed with which we kind of hone in on specific attack vectors is a big part and speaks to the overall breadth and the strength of the platform.
Super exciting time, and can't wait to kind of expose this functionality to our customers and see how they benefit from there. So we continue to evolve and lead the market in this space.
