AppSentinels Named Leader and Outperformer in GigaOm Radar for API Security
Cyber Security / Application Security | 4 min read
AppSentinels, a leader in Business Logic Security for APIs, AI Agents, and MCP workflows, has been recognised as a Leader and Outperformer in the GigaOm Radar for API Security. The dual designation — Leader for strong execution and product capabilities, and Outperformer for rapid innovation and comprehensive platform strategy — validates AppSentinels' unique approach to securing modern application architectures where APIs, AI agents, and tools interact to execute complex business workflows.
Why Traditional API Security Falls Short
Traditional application security tools focus on protecting individual APIs or detecting vulnerabilities in isolation. However, modern applications rely on complex workflow-driven interactions across APIs, services, and AI-driven decision systems — creating new attack surfaces that conventional tools are simply not designed to detect. Attackers are no longer exploiting individual endpoints; they are exploiting the business logic that connects them.
"Our recognition as a Leader and Outperformer by GigaOm validates the market shift we've been seeing. Security teams are realising attackers don't exploit individual APIs — they exploit workflows. As AI agents increasingly orchestrate actions across APIs and tools, protecting the business logic connecting these systems becomes critical."
— Puneet Tutliani, Co-Founder and CEO, AppSentinels
The Business Logic Security Platform
AppSentinels addresses the modern threat landscape through its Business Logic Security platform, which models relationships across APIs, workflows, and execution paths to prevent multi-step attacks that bypass traditional controls. The platform provides full lifecycle protection for modern applications, including:
- • Continuous Discovery — automated identification of all APIs and AI assets across the environment
- • Automated Security Testing — simulates chained attacks and business-logic abuse across workflows, not just individual endpoints
- • Runtime Protection — detects anomalous intent and enforces guardrails in real time during live execution
- • Business Logic Graph Modelling — maps execution paths across entire applications to surface hidden attack surfaces
This unified approach enables organisations to protect both the AI decision layer and the API execution layer simultaneously — eliminating the security blind spots that emerge when these systems are secured independently.
Securing the Entire AI-to-API Execution Chain
The recognition comes at a time when enterprises are rapidly deploying AI agents that orchestrate actions across APIs, services, and tools — fundamentally changing the application security landscape. As AI-agent-driven architectures become the norm, the boundary between application logic and AI decision-making continues to blur, creating execution chains that traditional security tools were never designed to protect.
"As organisations embrace AI and agent-driven systems, the line between application logic and AI decision-making continues to blur. Security must evolve to protect the entire execution chain — from AI intent to API action."
— Puneet Tutliani, Co-Founder and CEO, AppSentinels
