At RSA Conference 2020, Wallarm released an expanded set of parsers, detection of API-specific vulnerabilities and API schema analysis for gRPC and GraphQL. With Wallarm context-specific protection is delivered both for externally-facing APIs and for service-to-service internal APIs for a true zero trust use case.

"More than half of our customers are actively moving to the cloud-native stack. For them support for gRPC and GraphQL is not just a"nice-to-have", but a strong requirement for all the security solutions, including WAF and DAST. Wallarm is stepping up to provide just that.

We consistently follow all the modern application stacks, from serverless and WebSockets to Kubernetes-native, Envoy proxy, and now, gRPC and GraphQL as well", said Ivan Novikov, CEO of Wallarm.

Wallarm streaming mode detection and specialized parsers allow Wallarm to detect vulnerabilities with near-zero latency which is required by gRPC. Further, protection is delivered without manually uploading the protocol buffer schema, which means it keeps up the protection even as the API schema changes.

Wallarm implemented native JSON parser and specific rules to block GraphQL attacks.
