SECURE SHADOW APIS & UNDOCUMENTED ENDPOINTS: UNSMASK & SECURE
Protecting Your Hidden Attack Surface with Bright STAR
APIs power modern applications, but undocumented or shadow APIs often hide beyond your visibility – creating serious security blind spots. Bright STAR discovers and secures these hidden endpoints automatically, so even the APIs you didn’t know existed are protected from exploitation.
The Growing Threat of Shadow APIs
Shadow APIs are the unseen vulnerabilities in your system – internal endpoints that accidentally go public, deprecated APIs that never get shut down, or AI-generated ones introduced at scale without review. They lack the oversight of official APIs, making them ideal targets for attackers. As development speeds up and code evolves through automation, these hidden APIs multiply – quietly expanding your attack surface.
Comprehensive Protection for Every API
Bright STAR extends protection far beyond known endpoints, securing your entire API ecosystem. It uncovers hidden APIs, maps your complete application attack surface, and validates every fix with live attack simulation. With full OWASP API Top 10 coverage, STAR ensures no blind spot or vulnerability remains unchecked..
How Bright STAR Secures Shadow APIs
AI-Driven Code & Entrypoint Discovery
Automatically maps AI-generated code and shadow APIs to ensure no blind spots – vital for GDPR (Art. 25) and EU AI Act (Art. 9).
Function-Level Dynamic Vulnerability Detection
Finds vulnerabilities in AI-generated code, applies validated fixes, and produces auditable logs to meet SOC 2 (CC7.1, CC7.2) and ISO 27001 (A.8.8) standards.
AI-Powered Remediation & Validation Loop
Deploy directly into your CI/CD pipeline. See measurable results in minutes, aligning with PCI DSS v4.0 (Req. 6.3, 6.4.1).
Key Benefits for AppSec Teams & API Security Specialists
Comprehensive API Security
Achieve total visibility and protection across all APIs – known or hidden – with complete OWASP API Top 10 coverage.
Proactive Risk Mitigation
Find and fix vulnerabilities in undocumented APIs before they can be exploited, reducing your attack surface dramatically.
Reduced Attack Surface
Secure every endpoint, including those introduced through AI-generated code or forgotten over time.
Enhanced Compliance
Ensure compliance with organizational security policies and standards like SOC 2 (CC7.1, CC7.2) and ISO 27001 (A.8.8) for continuous technical vulnerability management.
