2025 has been one of Wallarm’s biggest years yet. 

In the last few months alone, we unveiled our industry-first API Revenue Protection capability, launched our next-gen Security Edge offering, were included in the 2025 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America, and announced our $55M Series C funding round. 

This October, we’re proud to see our dedication and our customers’ confidence recognized. Cybersecurity Breakthrough has named us the API Security Platform of the Year in its 9^th Annual Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards program. 

How Did We Get Here?

Not even ten years ago, we were yet to release our first product. 

Today, we’ve secured millions in funding, are one of the fastest-growing private companies in America and have been singled out as 2025’s top API security platform.

It’s been an exceptional decade, and we owe it all to our team and our customers. Across the board, our employees have deftly navigated complex challenges, shown endless capacity for innovation, and, ultimately, made our dream a reality, while our customers’ trust and collaboration have fueled our shared success. 

Why is Wallarm API Security Platform of the Year?

Because we’re the best API security platform out there. 

The Cybersecurity Breakthrough Awards evaluate each entry based on six key pillars: Innovation, Performance, Ease of Use, Functionality, Value, and Impact. 

Each judge then assigns scores based on the criteria and compiles them to generate cumulative scores for each entry. 

Among thousands of nominations from more than 20 countries, we came out on top. 

Here’s why Cybersecurity Breakthrough singled out our platform. 

Unified API and Agentic AI Security

Wallarm’s platform is built for the real world: production environments where APIs and AI agents are under constant attack. By combining API discovery, risk management, real-time protection, and testing in a single system, Wallarm delivers advanced, always-on security that detects and blocks attacks across protocols. 

Complete Visibility and Discovery

By automatically inventorying APIs and AI endpoints, and assigning risk scores, our platform shines a light on shadow and orphan APIs while mapping sensitive data usage. This gives security teams the visibility they need to address risks before attackers exploit them. 

Real-Time Attack Protection

Wallarm doesn’t just watch traffic; it actively defends your organization. Our platform blocks API attacks in real time, mitigates threats against AI, and prevents abuse by enforcing API specifications and stopping non-compliant requests dead.

Smarter Threat Response

With full observability into API sessions, Wallarm enables teams to drill into malicious requests,without drowning in noise. Alert prioritization ensures teams only respond to what matters, minimizing fatigue and sharpening response times.

Built-In Security Testing

Say goodbye to bolted-on security; say hello to continuous protection. Our platform automates API security testing in CI/CD pipelines, detects misconfigurations, and delivers ongoing assignments from the cloud to ensure protection scales with development. 

Protecting Sensitive Business Flows

In January this year, we announced a brand-new Sensitive Business Flow Identification capability, designed to automatically flag and protect APIs tied to mission-critical operations, like authentication, account management, and AI-driven endpoints. With Wallarm, your security team can lock down the functions that matter most to business resilience. 

Next-Gen Agentic AI Protection

And here’s what clinched it for us. As AI adoption explodes, so do new attack vectors. Our Agentic AI protection capability defends against prompt injection, jailbreaks, agent logic abuse, and other emerging threats unique to AI-powered systems. 

The key takeaway? As threats evolve, Wallarm evolves with them.

Why Choose Wallarm for API Security?

Wallarm is the only unified platform for API and agentic AI security. 

But what sets us apart isn’t just the breadth of our capabilities – it’s how easily they fit into your environment. Our unique environment lets you deploy in minutes, manage everything through one console, and integrate seamlessly into existing workflows. 

Our flexible deployment options include: 

• Security Edge: Change one DNS record and route traffic through Wallarm’s edge network – deploy in 15 minutes and get instant cloud perks like CDN and caching.
• Cloud and Multi-Cloud: Kick off fast with pre-built images in AWS, GCP, Azure, or IBM Cloud. Run Wallarm in any cloud – public, private, or hybrid. 
• Kubernetes or Container-Based Infrastructure: Deploy Wallarm across your site with Ingress Controller or use an Envoy sidecar for select services – covering both north-south and east-west traffic. 
• API Management and Load Balancers: Deploy in your load balancers or API gateways for seamless traffic inspection with near-zero latency. 
• Private Data Centers: Consistent web app and API protection across public clouds, private clouds, and data centers. 
• Out-of-Band Deployment: For quick POVs or when inline isn’t feasible, Wallarm can tap traffic with cloud-native tech like eBPF to analyze your web apps and APIs. 

Your APIs and AI agents drive your business. Wallarm keeps them secure.
