Today, we\u2019re excited to announce a major enhancement to your API security toolkit: Traceable\u2019s contextual API security capabilities are now an integral part of Axway\u2019s Amplify Platform. This integration transforms Amplify into a comprehensive solution for Business, IT, and Security teams.<\/p>\n<p>By combining Amplify and Traceable, organizations can establish end-to-end security and compliance programs that cover the entire API lifecycle.<\/p>\n<p>Read on to explore how Traceable provides enterprise-scale API security, how the integration functions, and why this addition makes Amplify Engage (formerly Amplify Enterprise Marketplace) the most powerful API governance solution available\u2014regardless of where your APIs are hosted or what API style you use.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>The Growing Risk of Unmanaged APIs<\/h2>\n<p>Many enterprises face significant security risks due to unmanaged APIs, commonly known as shadow APIs, zombie APIs, or legacy assets. These unsecured APIs represent one of the largest attack vectors, often remaining undetected within an organization.<\/p>\n<p>Our 2024 <strong>State of Enterprise API Maturity Report<\/strong> highlights the scale of this issue:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li><strong>78% of enterprise decision-makers don\u2019t know how many APIs exist in their IT ecosystem.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>74% report that more than 20% of their APIs are unmanaged.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.axway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/ID278152_RPT_Graphic-3_1200x675.png\" alt=\"Blue pie chart: 78% of enterprise decision-makers don't know how many APIs their organization has in its IT ecosystem.

With Amplify\u2019s Traceable agent, organizations gain visibility into API traffic, leveraging Traceable\u2019s ability to capture, correlate, and analyze API-related activities across their ecosystem. This powerful data-driven approach delivers <strong>contextual API security<\/strong> like never before.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other API management vendors that offer similar capabilities through third-party integrations, Axway has made these enhanced security features a <strong>native part of the Amplify Platform<\/strong> through a strategic partnership with Traceable.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.axway.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Traceable-API-security-schema-in-Amplify-platform.png\" alt=\"Traceable API security schema in Amplify platform\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Key Capabilities of Traceable in Amplify<\/h2>\n<p>By integrating Traceable, Amplify enhances security with:<\/p>\n<ul data-spread=\"false\">\n<li><strong>Continuous API Discovery<\/strong> (identifying unmanaged, internal, external, third-party, generative AI, and partner APIs)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automatic API Risk Scoring<\/strong> (detecting and scoring shadow APIs)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Auto-Creation and Publishing of Runtime API Specs<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Conformance Analysis (API Linting)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Sensitive Data Flow Discovery, Tracing, and Exposure Detection<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, Traceable can be deployed across various API endpoints to analyze even encrypted traffic, ensuring comprehensive security.<\/p>\n<p>The integration enables Axway customers to rapidly gain control over their unmanaged APIs by correlating API traffic with known endpoints across managed environments within Amplify.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Strengthening API Security and Governance<\/h2>\n<p>As enterprises scale their API usage, managing and securing these endpoints becomes more complex and critical.
