About

FireTail allows customers to solve all the most critical problems facing APIs today by sitting at the application layer, with full visibility and run-time blocking controls. Existing API security solutions are largely legacy, single-silo (ex. network) solutions, re-purposed to focus on APIs. While they can help, they typically focus on just a part of the problem. FireTail’s breakthrough approach came as a result of analyzing breaches against APIs for root causes, and engineering a solution from scratch specifically to address those pain points. FireTail is headquartered in Northern Virginia, with additional offices in Dublin, Ireland. To learn more, please visit us at https://firetail.io or follow us on LinkedIn.
