What is Traceable?
Traceable is an intelligent application and API security platform that discovers, protects, and tests all apps and APIs across the entire SDLC. The platform captures, correlates, and analyzes all app and API-related activity over time across your entire ecosystem, using context-based behavioral analytics AI to provide comprehensive security posture management, threat protection, and threat management.
Key features include automatic API discovery and inventory building (including shadow, rogue, partner, and third-party APIs), application and API posture management, attack detection and threat hunting, runtime attack protection against OWASP Top 10, bots, and DDoS, contextual API security testing requiring zero configuration, and support for securing generative AI APIs and MCP tools. The platform provides a data lake for incident response, advanced threat hunting, and compliance verification.
Traceable is designed for security teams, SOC teams, incident responders, threat hunters, red teams, blue teams, developers, and QA teams at enterprises. It serves organizations of all sizes from startups to large enterprises, particularly those with complex API ecosystems, cloud-native applications, microservices architectures, and AI-enabled applications needing comprehensive API security coverage.

Frequently asked questions about Traceable
What is Traceable AI?
Traceable is the industry's only context-aware Application Security platform that powers complete protection including security posture management, threat protection, and threat management across the entire SDLC. It automatically discovers all APIs, evaluates risk posture, stops attacks leading to data exfiltration, and provides analytics for threat hunting.
How does Traceable discover APIs?
Traceable automatically and continuously discovers and builds an inventory of every API in your organization, including internal, private, public, externally exposed, rogue, shadow, partner, and third-party APIs. It tracks changes via on-premise, cloud, in-code components, API management integrations, network traffic endpoints, and workloads via eBPF.
What attacks does Traceable block?
Traceable automatically detects and blocks known and unknown attacks, business logic abuse attacks, DDoS, abusive bot activity, and sensitive data exfiltration in production environments using contextual analysis of applications, APIs, user activity, data flow, and code execution.
Does Traceable require OpenAPI specs?
No, Traceable requires zero configuration and has no dependency on OpenAPI spec files or Postman collections. It uses real context from active API traffic for contextual API security testing.
What deployment options does Traceable support?
Traceable offers three deployment options: Self-Managed (on-premise or cloud), Cloud (AWS, GCP, Azure, or customer datacenter), and SaaS (Software as a Service). This allows you to discover and secure APIs across your entire digital enterprise.
Can Traceable secure AI applications?
Yes, Traceable provides continuous discovery and posture insights for APIs and MCP tools to identify and manage security risks across modern AI applications. It specifically addresses security challenges for LLM-powered applications and generative AI APIs.
What compliance standards does Traceable support?
Traceable helps prove compliance to standards like GDPR, CCPA, and PCI DSS. The automatically learned API catalog is used by customers to evaluate risk, understand data exposure, and demonstrate compliance as they move applications into production.
Who uses Traceable?
Traceable's platform serves SOC teams, incident responders, threat hunters, red teams, blue teams, security teams, and development teams. It is used by the world's most secure companies including enterprises like Informatica, Jobvite, and Axos Bank.
How does Traceable's AI features work?
Traceable's AI Features utilize Generative AI powered by Amazon Bedrock and Google Gemini to provide context-sensitive insights. The AI drives issue analysis and prioritization, generating insights in simple language that explain the issue nature, detection method, and suggested remediation. Traceable does not use customer data to train AI models.
What is the Traceable data lake used for?
The Traceable data lake captures all API traffic and is used for incident response, advanced threat hunting, compliance verification, and forensics. It provides a time-sequence storyboard showing everything threat actors have done in the environment with user journey tracking and API touch-point identification.
