Our team is debating APIsec vs Salt Security for our API security needs. We’re API-first and deploy multiple times a day, so we need something that fits into the pipeline. Anyone compared these two? I know Salt is more runtime, but how does APIsec fit in?

They’re fundamentally different approaches. Salt is runtime detection — watching traffic in production. APIsec is pre-production testing: it actively pentests your APIs in the CI/CD pipeline so you find and fix flaws before they ever reach production. If you want to shift left and stop shipping vulnerabilities, APIsec is the way to go.
Some teams use both — APIsec to catch things before deploy, Salt to monitor what slips through. But if you had to pick one to prevent issues, APIsec is the one that catches a BOLA flaw in staging before it becomes an incident.
