On 1 December, Salt launched \u201cAsk Pepper AI\u201d<\/strong>, a pure language interface designed to assist safety groups immediately question their whole API property. Constructed on Amazon Bedrock, the instrument permits customers to ask plain-English questions (resembling \u201cWhich of my APIs expose PII?\u201d<\/em> or \u201cWhat APIs have the very best Threat Rating?\u201d) <\/em>and obtain rapid, actionable insights drawn from Salt\u2019s API Discovery, Posture Governance and Menace Safety capabilities.<\/p>\n

With organisations struggling for readability in sprawling cloud environments, Salt\u2019s H2 2025 State of API Safety Report discovered that solely 19% really feel \u201cvery assured\u201d within the accuracy of their API stock, whereas 15% admit they have no idea which APIs expose private information. Salt says \u201cAsk Pepper AI\u201d helps shut these gaps by democratising entry to essential safety data and accelerating each incident response and threat prioritisation.<\/p>\n

\u201cAPI safety is advanced, however understanding your threat shouldn\u2019t be,\u201d mentioned Michael Nicosia, Co-Founder and COO at Salt Safety. \u201c\u2018Ask Pepper AI\u2019 makes it easy. By utilizing Amazon Bedrock, we\u2019re placing highly effective, intuitive safety insights into the fingers of everybody from SOC analysts to CISOs. When most organisations aren\u2019t even positive what their API stock seems to be like, the flexibility to only ask and get a right away reply is a game-changer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two days later, Salt introduced a second main functionality: the extension of its patented API behavioural menace safety to detect and block malicious intent concentrating on MCP servers. MCP servers enable LLMs and autonomous brokers to execute duties by calling APIs and instruments, however their rising utilization has outpaced safety controls. Usually deployed with out central oversight and uncovered to the web, they’re changing into a brand new goal for attackers searching for entry to delicate information and system performance.<\/p>\n

Constructing on Salt\u2019s just lately launched MCP Finder know-how, the corporate now permits organisations to establish misuse or abuse of MCP servers and routinely block threats utilizing AWS WAF, leveraging real-time behavioural intelligence from the Salt platform.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost organisations don\u2019t even know what number of MCP servers they’ve, not to mention which of them are uncovered or being abused,\u201d mentioned Nick Rago, VP of Product Technique at Salt Safety. \u201cThis functionality lets them take motion shortly, utilizing current controls to stop actual threats without having to deploy new infrastructure.\u201d<\/p>\n

By combining MCP discovery with AWS WAF enforcement, clients can block assaults earlier than they affect purposes, uncover shadow or unmanaged MCP situations, prolong edge safety to the AI motion layer, and constantly replace defences as attacker ways change.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
