How is this different from API penetration testing?

Scanning is automated and runs on every build; penetration testing adds manual exploitation of authorization and logic flaws. They are complementary.

Can it run fully in our pipeline?

Yes. Turnkey integrations enable 100% CI/CD automation of API scanning, in cloud or on-premise.

How do you keep false positives out?

Findings are AI-detected and human-verified before reporting, backed by a contractual zero false positives SLA.

Why API Security Scanning Is a Business Revenue Lever

Les APIs évoluent constamment et sont déployées rapidement: une nouvelle endpoint ou un nouveau paramètre peut exposer des données dès son déploiement. Un scanning automatisé et schema-aware vérifie chaque modification avant qu’elle n’atteigne la production, maintient votre API estate conforme et fournit aux développeurs un retour rapide et fiable afin que la sécurité suive le rythme des livraisons.

Tableau comparatif:

With ImmuniWeb API Scanning

Every endpoint scanned on each release
Zéro faux positif — les développeurs traitent les risques réels
Always-current API compliance evidence
100% automation inside CI/CD
Documented and shadow APIs covered

Sans analyse continue des API

New endpoints exposed and untested in production
Tool noise ignored, real flaws slip through
Stale coverage that fails audits
Manual, inconsistent API checks
Blind spots across an unmanaged API surface

API Security Scanning vs API Penetration Testing

	Analyse de sécurité des API	Test de pénétration des API
Frequency	On every build	Once or twice a year
Cost	Low, subscription-based	Higher, project-based
Profondeur	Broad automated coverage	Deep manual exploitation
Logic Flaws	Limité	Full BOLA/BFLA and logic testing
Idéal pour	Continuous regression in CI/CD	Audits et API à haut risque

Recommendation: Schema-aware scanning keeps every API release in check at machine speed. But authorization flaws like BOLA and BFLA often need a human to exploit. Use Neuron for continuous coverage and escalate sensitive APIs to ImmuniWeb® On-Demand for deep manual penetration testing.

Couverture de la vérification de sécurité des API

Neuron scans your APIs broadly and accurately across four dimensions:

Discovery & Schema

OpenAPI/Swagger and Postman collection import
REST, GraphQL and SOAP endpoint coverage
Shadow and undocumented endpoint detection
Versioned and deprecated API checks

Authentication & Access

Token, JWT and OAuth 2.0 handling checks
Authentication and session weaknesses
Access-control and exposure patterns
Rate-limiting and resource-consumption checks

Data & Injection

Injection across API parameters
Excessive data exposure and mass assignment
Sensitive data leakage in responses
Input-validation weaknesses

Delivery & Standards

100% CI/CD automation, cloud or on-premise
Multiuser dashboard with RBAC
OWASP API Top 10 and SANS Top 25 mapping
Zero false positives and free rescanning

OWASP API Security Top 10 Detection Coverage

API1Autorisation au niveau de l'objet rompue

We scan endpoints for object-ID manipulation patterns.

API2Authentification cassée

Nous vérifions la gestion des jetons, JWT et OAuth.

API3 Broken Object Property Level Auth

We flag mass assignment and excessive data exposure.

API4Consommation illimitée des ressources

Nous vérifions les limites de débit et les contrôles de quota.

API5Autorisation au niveau des fonctions compromise

We scan for privileged-function exposure.

API6 Unrestricted Access to Business Flows

Nous signalons les flux sensibles non protégés.

API7 Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

We scan inputs that could reach internal systems.

API8Mauvaise configuration sécurité

We review headers, CORS and TLS settings.

API9Gestion inadéquate de l’inventaire

We surface shadow and deprecated APIs.

API10Consommation non sécurisée des API

We check how third-party API data is handled.

The 6-Phase The API Scanning Workflow

Schema Import & Scope

We ingest your OpenAPI/Swagger or Postman collection. Artifact: a parsed endpoint inventory.

Phase 1

Phase 2

Automated Scanning

Neuron analyse chaque point de terminaison à vitesse machine. Artefact: un ensemble complet de résultats bruts.

IA + validation humaine

Findings are validated to remove false positives. Artifact: a verified, zero-false-positive list.

Phase 3

Phase 4

Risk Scoring & Reporting

Findings are ranked and reported with remediation. Artifact: a report mapped to OWASP API Top 10.

CI/CD Gate

Results flow into CI/CD to block risky builds. Artifact: an automated API security gate.

Phase 5

Phase 6

Réanalyse et vérification

We rescan after fixes to confirm closure. Artifact: a clean rescan and updated evidence.

Shift-Left Security: 100% CI/CD API Scanning Automation

Scan APIs on every build, automatically. Set policy thresholds and vulnerable builds are blocked from deployment automatically — no manual review, no merge of insecure code. ImmuniWeb plugs natively into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI and Jenkins, turning every pipeline into an automated security gate, so developers get fast, actionable feedback inside the tools they already use.

Industry-Specific API Scanning

Nous adaptons l’analyse des API à votre secteur d’activité:

FinTech & Open Banking

Analyse continue des API de paiement et d’Open Banking sous PCI DSS et PSD2.

SaaS & Microservices

Scan à chaque build sur de grands parcs d’API en évolution rapide.

Healthcare & Data APIs

Foire aux questions

Q

Which API types can you scan?

A

REST, GraphQL and SOAP APIs. Import an OpenAPI/Swagger or Postman collection and we cover documented and undocumented endpoints.
Q

How is this different from API penetration testing?

A

Scanning is automated and runs on every build; penetration testing adds manual exploitation of authorization and logic flaws. They are complementary.
Q

Can it run fully in our pipeline?

A

Oui. Les intégrations clés en main permettent une automatisation à 100 % des analyses d'API dans les pipelines CI/CD, que ce soit dans le cloud ou sur site.
Q

How do you keep false positives out?

A

Findings are AI-detected and human-verified before reporting, backed by a contractual zero false positives SLA.
