You Can't Secure AI Without Securing APIs
Why API security is the foundation of AI security, and what the OWASP LLM Top 10 actually tells us
Mobile Secure Data Sheet
Continuous mobile app security testing for iOS and Android, on every release. This two-page overview covers how Mobile Secure combines static, dynamic, and behavioral analysis on real devices with third-party SDK review, auto-triaged alerts to Slack, Teams, or email, and secure-code remediation that closes findings in days. Includes supported frameworks, compliance coverage (PCI DSS, HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and more), and CI/CD integration details.
Mobile Protect Data Sheet
Mobile Protect's in-app runtime defenses for deployed iOS and Android apps: dynamic obfuscation, anti-tampering and anti-debugging, jailbreak and root detection, on-device anti-fraud scoring (account takeover, payment fraud, bot and emulator defense, fraud farms), defense against AI-augmented attacks (attack-path mapping, memory scraping, AI overlay malware), and the SDK's production footprint (500 KB, no startup tax on Android, ~10 KiB/s telemetry).
Code SAST Secure Data Sheet
Find, fix, and remediate exploitable code vulnerabilities across first-party source, open source, and AI-generated code. Code SAST Secure is Data Theorem's developer-side application security platform: it scans source, bytecode, and compiled artifacts with SAST, verifies exploitability through DAST (SAST+), continuously inventories open-source dependencies and SDKs with SCA and SBOM, and auto-generates secure patches for actively exploitable open-source and AI-written code. Download the datasheet to see how find, fix, verify, and remediate come together in one platform.
API Secure Data Sheet
Discover, harden, test, and protect every API across mobile, web, and cloud. API Secure is Data Theorem's full-lifecycle API security platform: it continuously inventories every REST, GraphQL, gRPC, SOAP, and serverless API, hardens posture across multi-cloud, attacks them with hacker-style testing, and defends against prompt injection, LLM abuse, and AI-augmented attacks at runtime. Download the datasheet to see how discovery, health, testing, and active protection come together in one platform.
Cloud Secure Data Sheet
Monitor, hack, and protect every cloud asset across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Cloud Secure unifies cloud security posture management (CSPM) and application security in one continuous platform. The Data Theorem Analyzer Engine inventories every config, app, microservice, serverless function, key vault, container, database, and storage asset across multi-cloud, attacks them with hacker-style techniques, and routes prioritized fixes upstream before a breach reaches your data. Download the datasheet to see how monitor, hack, and protect come together in one platform.
Mobile Protect Anti-Fraud Solutions Brief
Stop mobile fraud before the transaction settles. Account takeover, payment fraud, and fraud farms exploit rooted devices, emulators, and GPS spoofing faster than backend rules can correlate, because server-side rules cannot see what the app sees. Mobile Protect runs inside every iOS and Android app, scoring correlated device, identity, network, and behavioral signals in real time and blocking at the app layer before the transaction submits. Download the brief to see how runtime anti-fraud catches what the backend misses.

The 4 Pillars of API Security
A practical strategy for securing APIs in 2025. As APIs become the core of every digital business, and the leading criminal attack vector, the "AI will save you" promise of real-time, block-and-stop runtime defense has fallen short. This white paper, written by Mark Boyd and published by apidays with a foreword by Corey J. Ball (author of Hacking APIs), lays out a four-pillar approach (Discovery, Posture Management & ASPM, Testing with Context, and Observability & Runtime) that any organization can maintain in about 30 minutes a week. Download it for the full strategy, checklist, and a realistic look at where AI actually fits in API security.
