Wib is a relatively new vendor in the API Security landscape. The company provides API Security across the entire API software development lifecycle like many other vendors in the industry. Wib, claims to protect APIs through the entire API software development lifecycle.
Traceable AI’s security platform was purpose-built from the ground up to understand and to fully protect API applications. Unlike other API Security solutions on the market, Traceable was built to understand how applications work and track their software changes so that security protection is always up-to-date and never left behind.
With the rise of API applications, attackers are now targeting the business logic flaws and API vulnerabilities that turn up with every software release. Unless your security protection can understand your application business logic and how it changes over time, it opens the door for attackers to discover and exploit your application vulnerabilities.
Traceable AI is the leader in API security and enables comprehensive protection for APIs including the Log4j/Log4Shell exploit.

Consider the following points when evaluating Wib
Real-Time Protection
API attacks are fast and hard to detect because they often look like regular business traffic. Traceable AI has a range of deployment options that takes minutes to set up. This includes an in-app agent option for real-time protection, blocking threats as they come, and an agentless option that can be deployed outside the application depending on your requirements
Security Data Lake
Historical data about attempted API attacks is a crucial need for security teams to improve their security posture over time. Traceable is built on a security data lake that enables EDR-like capabilities that enterprise security teams have been using for years. Customers can perform threat hunting, post-forensic analysis and track sensitive data flows across their API-driven applications. Explore how to do threat hunting and forensics when deploying WIB.
Web Protection
Cybercriminals have expanded their attack campaigns to both Web and API applications, looking for an easy way to breach your security defenses and steal your sensitive data. Without a solid defense against web and API attacks, you end up with a hole in your security protection, allowing cybercriminals to gain an easy foothold in your organization.
Traceable AI offers both API and Web protection for mission-critical applications blocking cyber attack campaigns that target both API and web applications, seeking your sensitive data.
