The API Security Platform.
Overview
42Crunch provides an API security platform that is focused on a 'shift-left' approach, enabling developers to build security into their APIs from the very beginning of the development lifecycle. It offers tools for API contract security auditing, conformance scanning, and a micro API firewall for protection.
✨ Key Features
