Salt Security Partners With Wiz, Combines Cloud and API Security

API security orgnanisation Salt Security has announced its expanded partnership and new integration with Wiz, the leader in cloud security. The integration between Salt Security and Wiz enables organisations to detect, comprehend, and respond to both API security posture gaps and critical risks directly within their cloud security infrastructure.

The complexity and size of modern cloud deployments, which often leverage API gateways, pose distinct security challenges for organisations. Traditional security tools cannot evaluate API posture and provide a comprehensive analysis of API traffic required to identify advanced threats. Salt Security’s API Protection Platform tackles these dual issues, delivering continuous API discovery, runtime protection enhanced by behavioural analysis for threat detection, and essential posture governance features.

The integration between Salt Security and Wiz enhances cloud security by directly feeding Salt’s API security intelligence into the Wiz platform. Salt’s deep understanding of API behaviour enriches Wiz’s cloud context, helping teams proactively secure APIs and accelerate response to emerging threats. With this integration, the insights derived from Salt can be viewed directly in the Wiz security graph, allowing security teams to visualise API posture challenges alongside other cloud security threats and risks identified by Wiz. By linking posture assessments and runtime events to potential attack pathways and affected cloud resources within Wiz, organisations gain a comprehensive and actionable view of their entire attack surface.

Oron Noah, VP of Product Extensibility & Partnerships at Wiz, said: “The partnership between Salt Security and Wiz gives customers a clearer view of their API risk — enriching Wiz’s context with detailed insights that help identify posture gaps and potential attack paths. By combining Salt’s API intelligence with Wiz’s cloud visibility, we’re helping teams better understand which issues matter most so they can reduce risk faster and scale their API ecosystems with confidence.”

WIN integration provides Salt Security and Wiz customers with unified API visibility, contextualised risk assessment via Wiz’s Security Graph, and improved compliance. It enables efficient remediation and streamlined incident response, visualised within Wiz, alongside automated incident workflows for proactive threat management.

“APIs are fundamental to driving cloud adoption, however securing API ecosystems within these environments has become a paramount concern,” said Roey Eliyahu, co-founder and CEO, Salt Security. “Our partnership and integration with Wiz significantly enhances API security in the cloud. By fusing in-depth API posture and attack intelligence with robust cloud security insights on a unified platform, organisations can augment their defences, ensure rapid incident response, and safeguard essential assets. Our integration with platforms like Wiz empower organisations to secure their APIs and cloud environments with the utmost confidence.”

Today’s news builds upon Salt’s longstanding partnership with Wiz. Salt was one of the first vendors to join the Wiz Integration (WIN) platform in 2023 and since then, the two companies have collaborated closely to build integrations that enhance API security and bolster threat detection across cloud environments.
