We're excited to share that we've deepened our ties to AWS in two compelling ways, by achieving AWS WAF Ready Status and earning AWS Security Competency. Salt is the first and only API security company in both of these vital AWS programs. Protecting APIs – and the sensitive and critical data they transport – has become a key business priority. We want to make it easy for customers to deploy the Salt Security API Protection Platform in their environment of choice. By making it simple for AWS customers to adopt Salt directly from the AWS Marketplace, we enable our joint customers to procure and benefit from our API security capabilities much faster.   Achieving the AWS WAF Ready designation differentiates Salt as an APN member whose solution has been proven to work with AWS WAF and is available for and fully supports AWS customers. Working "better together", the Salt API Protection Platform and AWS WAF give businesses a best-of-breed solution to protect and secure their APIs. In addition to being certified AWS WAF Ready, Salt today announced AWS Security Competency certification. This certification acknowledges our deep expertise and ability to seamlessly deliver the Salt Security API Protection Platform on AWS. API threats abound in today's digital-first economy. With Salt, enterprises gain the industry's most-proven, purpose-built API solution. Leveraging our time-tested AI and ML algorithms and API data lake architecture, Salt can correlate activities across billions of API calls in real-time. This adaptive intelligence allows us to detect behavioral anomalies over time that indicate possible API threats. We capture the signals that other solutions miss, and – in the process – give organizations unsurpassed power to defend their APIs from attack. With API attackers becoming more sophisticated every single day, our unique capabilities help protect the critical and sensitive data being driven by APIs and used by every digital company worldwide. We are excited to make these capabilities easy for organizations to adopt and implement within their existing environments, which is why these announcements matter so much to us. If you would like to understand how Salt and AWS WAF can help you better protect your APIs, feel free to watch our on-demand webinar with Salt Field CTO Nick Rago and AWS Sr. Security Consultant Matthew McCarty. We will also be at AWS re:Inforce 2023 June 13-14 and would love to meet in person. Feel free to contact us to set up a meeting.

Salt Security has been named Cybersecurity Solution of the Year in the Prestigious National Technology Awards – our first award in the UK and a brilliant recognition! Organized by National Technology News, the National Technology Awards celebrate the pioneers of technology and encourage excellence, providing the most comprehensive celebration of technology of the year. I had the privilege of picking up the trophy for the team last week at a posh awards dinner held at the inimitable Grosvenor Hotel in London. Salt received the top award for its Salt Security API Protection Platform. Being a category winner alongside other prominent technology leaders, such as Vodafone, BP, LexisNexis Risk Assessment and more, was a true honour.   The evening was kicked off by National Technology News editor, Jonathan Easton, before he handed the mic to the very funny Suzi Ruffell to do a set and bestow the awards. Suzi is a stand up comedian who has appeared on Live at the Apollo, The Jonathan Ross Show and Mock the Week, as well as sold out five shows at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. The judges, including Nimisha Brahmbhatt, Founder and CEO, Quantum Global Consultants and Sabina Ciofu, Associate Director, International Policy and Trade Programme, techUK as well as other prominent tech advisers, dubbed the Salt Security API Protection Platform "A simple yet comprehensive API security offering" - earning us top prize in the Cybersecurity Solution of the Year category. Winning awards has become a weekly occurrence here at Salt! But the NTA award means a lot to us as our first official award in the UK! It also signifies the growing awareness about the need for purpose-built API security in the UK and, of course, the unique capabilities provided with the Salt platform. Salt pioneered API security and has led the market in protecting enterprises' critical APIs. In doing so, Salt empowers businesses to continue to deliver new and innovative digital initiatives to their customers without worrying about data breaches. Here in the UK, security concerns abound in today's digital-first economy. With Salt, the safety of your APIs does not need to be one of them. Salt  leverages its API data lake with its mature artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms, giving the deepest insights into API behaviors, so organizations can quickly detect and block potential API attacks. Businesses can rest assured that their APIs are safe from misuse and attackers with Salt. We would love to show you how Salt blocks API attacks! Are you attending Infosecurity Europe June 20-22? Salt will be demonstrating our award-winning API security platform at the show. To set up a meeting, or an in-person demo, please contact us!
