Behavioral AI has protected critical applications and now blocks complex external attacks
I think Salt Security could improve their implementations. The one that I saw was very complex and took quite a bit of time, and if the environment is unique at all, it takes quite a bit of time to figure out how to properly ensure that it will be implemented. A lot of times there is a steep learning curve for someone that hasn't been in it to figure out the APIs and really dig deep into it, but once you get used to it, it is easy. However, that ramp-up period could be tough. I think Salt Security could use a more enterprise focus. Some of the smaller companies that I have referred them to think it is a little bit too complex for them, so if they could come up with a different version or something a little bit easier to simplify their platform, they may be able to find more customers that way.

Improved API data protection and threat detection have reduced manual work but reporting still needs refinement
The documents for the initial setup are very limited, making us rely heavily on the vendor to install the setup, which can be costly. Each license costs a lot for our organization, and while we placed a few licenses in a confidential project, using it broadly requires more licenses, which is not financially feasible. Proper training is also crucial; we spent around two and a half years in a UAT environment to train the AI to understand our organization's policies before deploying it in production. While this approach has worked smoothly, we identified a need for better and more user-friendly reporting. If we discuss national IDs, different countries have different national ID formats. Whenever we install Traceable AI, we need to inject our own configurations for the national IDs of various countries. If they use a real-time social security number or national ID sites in the future, it would be easier for us if the process were more flexible.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's really great. I would rate the stability a nine out of ten. I haven't encountered any instability issues."
"Salt Security gives you visibility of all your APIs, identifies API security issues, and immediately alerts you of attacks."
"Salt Security gave me much better visibility into API risk, helping me identify exposed endpoints, misconfigured APIs, and sensitive data flowing through APIs that required additional controls, and it has become an important part of my API security program."
"Salt Security has positively impacted my organization and my client's organization by being able to stop cyberattacks and ensure that they have proper security over all their applications, giving them a sense of peace of mind that they have security over something that could ultimately take down the whole company if not mitigated properly."
"We have seen a return on investment from Traceable AI due to improvements in accuracy and security, as it enhances our legal processes, reduces human intervention, and has shortened the time spent gathering data from three to four weeks to one to two days, which translates into direct and indirect benefits."
 

Cons

"Regarding scalability, for users in smaller environments, it is not exactly the best."
"The integration part could be a bit extended."
"The setup cost was acceptable, but adding additional APIs was actually quite expensive."
"The documents for the initial setup are very limited, making us rely heavily on the vendor to install the setup, which can be costly."
