API SecurityAPI Behavioural Intelligence
ThreatCanary discovers APIs, models how they behave, and validates how they can be abused across authentication, authorisation, data exposure and business logic.

Capability architecture
APIs are not endpoints. They are trust boundaries.
ThreatCanary treats APIs as adversarial infrastructure: places where identity, data, business logic and access control can be chained into compromise.
01Why it matters
- APIs now carry identity, sensitive data, business workflows and service-to-service trust.
- Traditional API tools often focus on inventory, gateways or runtime policy without proving abuse paths.
- Undocumented, zombie and shadow APIs can expose critical functionality without clear ownership or testing coverage.
02ThreatCanary approach
- Discovers APIs from external exposure, gateways, logs, OpenAPI specs, repositories and platform metadata.
- Maps authentication, authorisation, sequence behaviour, ownership, data sensitivity and drift.
- Generates and validates API-specific hypotheses such as BOLA, BFLA, excessive data exposure, weak auth flows and business logic abuse.
03Core capabilities
- API discovery, API catalog, API behaviour analysis and OpenAPI mapping.
- Shadow and zombie API detection, ownership mapping and sensitive data classification.
- OWASP API testing, schema-driven fuzzing, authentication and authorisation validation.
- Shift-left support through specs, exportable test cases and developer-ready remediation.
04Outputs
- A clear explanation of the exposure, affected assets and likely attack path.
- Reproducible evidence suitable for analysts, developers and risk owners.
- Prioritisation based on exploitability, business impact, sensitive data and chainability.
- Owner, remediation and workflow context that can move into Jira, Slack, SIEM or reporting.
