Levo offers an API Security Platform that automatically and continuously discovers, documents, tests, and monitors APIs—essential practices endorsed by OWASP and compliance frameworks like PCI.
Due to the complexity of recommended security practices, over 60% of enterprises lack a robust API security strategy. This gap has led to widespread API breaches, with 57% of organizations experiencing incidents in the past two years.
Levo has become indispensable to enterprise teams as we save them :
A. 2-3 quarters of Developer bandwidth and >$1 million annual staffing costs
B. $11 million in incident response costs by preventing/minimizing API breaches.
Yes, we offer a dozen-plus agentless instrumentation options that plug into your existing infrastructure and tools in addition to our eBPF and PCAP Sensors.
Both agent and agentless deployments have their advantages and trade-offs.
Our traffic-based instrumentation provides some of the most detailed and accurate inventory and documentation available.
Yet its effectiveness depends on traffic quality.
Since WAFs and many other edge-based tools capture edge traffic—mainly north-south communication—these agentless methods may miss internal APIs.
While our eBPF sensor addresses this limitation, we recognize that installing agents requires significant resources and cross-departmental approval.
Our one-click plugins for Gateways, Load Balancers, CDNs, and now WAFs give your teams immediate API visibility without upfront costs.
No, all of our use cases are capable of and meant to be deployed throughout the Software Development Lifecycle.
90% of critical security decisions happen before code reaches pre-production. By stepping in early, we enable the rectification of wrong decisions and support in making the right decisions.
This ensures that exploit-proof applications are deployed instead of chasing false alerts in production.
Our ability to discover, document, and test APIs primarily depends on access to their traffic. While code instrumentation is possible, the most crucial API parameters and API behavior are only visible in traffic.
We begin by deploying our passive, out-of-band eBPF sensors (1 of our 12 instrumentation methods) across environments to observe and collect API traffic, including SSL traffic.
Instead of collecting everything (which could quickly amount to terabytes of data per day in high-performance environments), our agent smartly samples only what's necessary to create a conclusive and representative traffic profile.
Thus, excessive data collection, processing, and duplication—common issues with traffic mirroring that drive up cloud costs—are avoided.
Once collected, the sampled data is sent to our satellite for processing—a stark contrast to most vendors who process 100% of your data in their SaaS.
After processing the traces, the satellite discards all of them, including those containing PII.
You can choose to host the satellite yourself or have us host it. Either option maintains total capacity and can be deployed across all environments with a single click.
Built using microservices, our stateless satellite supports Kubernetes, VMs, and serverless architecture and doesn’t require any updates to your Firewall configurations.
