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.
