What happened
Equixly, a Verona based startup, raised EUR 10 million to expand its AI driven platform for automated API security testing.
Who is affected
Enterprises that rely on APIs for core operations, especially teams that handle rapid software releases and complex integration environments.
Why CISOs should care
API attacks continue to rise, and many breaches stem from poor visibility or gaps in manual testing. Equixly’s funding signals stronger industry focus on automated API security, which can expose logic flaws and misconfigurations before deployment. CISOs need to track advances in this space as APIs remain one of the most targeted layers in modern architectures.
3 practical actions
- Strengthen API security testing in CI pipelines.
- Review inventory and classification of all external and internal APIs.
- Assess current API security tools for coverage of logic flaws and non standard behaviors.
