AppSentinels API Security Platform - May 2026 Release Notes

AppSentinels API Security Platform Release Notes
May 2026 (26.05.R1)

Retrospective Risk Realignment & Governance
  • Risk Realignment (Org Settings → Security & Governance) reconciles historical vulnerability and governance events with your current configuration — includes Severity Realignment, Disabled PII Cleanup, and Authentication State Cleanup.
  • Default severity levels updated for select passive scan misconfigurations.

AI-Powered API Classification

  • APIs are automatically classified into categories such as business-critical, privileged, account sign-in, and transaction using OpenAPI specs and payload analysis.
  • Drives more consistent security-policy application and prioritization across your API inventory.

Public API Enhancements — Compliance Reporting

  • Generate OWASP Coverage, PCI-DSS, and GDPR compliance reports on demand via public API.
  • Optional duration filters and email delivery.

API Security Testing Enhancements

  • Clearer Start-Test experience with better error messaging and more readable test suite display.
  • Proxy configuration support added to the UI (Configuration Page, Start Test dashboard, Test Inspector).
  • OAST reachability status now shown in the DAST Dashboard, plus a reachability check in Test Inspector.
  • DAST Incremental Run enhanced with advanced config-version selection.
  • New CSRF & CORS test suite added to DAST.

Runtime Threat Detection

  • Simplified ATD configuration — profile setup is now UI-driven instead of manual YAML configuration.

API Discovery & Application Configuration

  • WAF log-based API discovery — the controller can process CEF-formatted WAF logs forwarded to it and discover APIs directly from those logs.
  • Flexible host/path filtering — configurable AND/OR logic between host and path filters in Manage Applications.
  • Option to disable default application discovery, so only APIs from configured application domains and hostnames are learned.
