Key announcements from Wallarm include:

Latest discoveries in API security from ThreatStats™ report

Wallarm’s Tim Erlin, head of product, and Girish Bhat, VP of marketing, are leading the Black Hat Europe session, sharing real-time insights into threats from the latest API ThreatStats™ report, such as detection of 239 new vulnerabilities, injections and API data leaks. They’ll also recommend solutions to help security practitioners fortify their digital assets, such as prioritizing authentication, authorization and access control principles and integrating API leak protection measures.

New 100% channel model

The Wallarm team is also discussing its move to a 100% channel model. With a 100% channel strategy, Wallarm can deliver a better customer experience through its channel partners, ensuring customers get the best value from working with a trusted solution provider of their choice. With this announcement, Wallarm is focused on developing new partnerships globally among VARs, distributors and technology partners, as partner profitability and enablement are key parts of the expanding channel partner program. Wallarm’s channel partners include Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, security solutions leaders and independent software vendors. 

“Our channel program is directly linked to the quality service we provide our customers, so our move to a 100% channel model is unique,” said Clay Speckmiear, head of channel at Wallarm. “As we look toward rapid growth, a 100% channel model will help us improve our efficiency and avoid channel conflict, while not sacrificing value for our customers.”

‍API Attack Surface Management product launch

During Black Hat Europe, Wallarm is launching API Attack Surface Management, which identifies APIs, hosts, risks and misconfigurations. The new product arrives as more organizations lack visibility into their public API attack surface, such as which APIs are exposed, what risks they exhibit and whether they’re protected. Existing solutions are limited and occasionally only partially solve the problem. As part of the API Attack Surface Management launch, Wallarm is introducing its API Leak Detection capability, which identifies leaked secrets — essential amid the growing concern of API data leaks.
