Security can no longer be an afterthought right now. With the current influx of security incidents, security must always be built into the product code and architecture. I recommend Levo to enterprises because they approach API security with a similar mindset. Thanks to Levo, we now clearly understand how our applications have changed over the last year while continuously remediating vulnerabilities.

Co-Founder at Zluri
Levo allows embedding API discovery and security testing in the SDLC process at pre-production stages, which reduces the risks of exploits by bad actors and makes remediation more cost-efficient. Their innovative approach to API discovery, especially the eBPF agents that extract API endpoints, schema, authentication method, generate OpenAPI spec, and use the latter for API security testing, remains one of the most important use cases for an enterprise.

Security Partner, 20+ years of Security experience
Levo.ai is an exceptional developer friendly security platform custom built for the needs of modern API-first applications and agile DevOps driven deployments. Levo has done an excellent job at providing me with the confidence and assurance that every Engineering Leader needs through their continuous visibility, documentation and monitoring modules. If you are an Engineering Leader who is frustrated with constantly having to choose between pausing innovation or risking security, this platform is for you. It provides your applications with continuous, automated, and proactive security they need to secure growth levers.

Co-Founder & CTO, Fello
Before partnering with Levo, we had limited visibility into our APIs. However, their team has assisted us over the past year with API discovery and documentation and testing, maintaining data privacy, and regulatory compliance. This has led to a reduced attack surface and a significant increase in our developers' bandwidth. They have adeptly released custom features at high speed to meet our requirements. I would recommend them to any engineering and security leader seeking a long-term, effective solution to API-induced data breaches.

Levo has raised the bar for API security monitoring and testing. Their eBPF sensor is a game-changer for gaining valuable insights into our APIs with their Observability solution. As an early customer of Levo, I can confidently say that our partnership has been transformative. Levo has raised the bar for API security monitoring and testing. It's refreshing to see a team that delivers on complex requirements and constantly evolves to meet the latest security challenges successfully.

Frequently asked questions

What is Levo?

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.

Are there agentless instrumentation methods available?

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.

Are all the API Security use cases limited to production?

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.

Is traffic instrumentation necessary? How is the traffic processed to avoid security risks and resource overruns?

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.
