## Summary

Many organizations have a dangerous silo where SOC teams manage endpoints and networks while engineering teams handle APIs, leaving API traffic as a blind spot. A major insurance provider faced this exact problem—their WAF and SIEM couldn't detect behavioral attacks like BOLA/IDOR that operate within legitimate API usage patterns. By integrating Salt Security with CrowdStrike Falcon, they gained real-time API inventory (including shadow endpoints missed by their gateway), behavioral threat detection, and unified SOC workflows. The architectural shift also positions them against emerging agentic AI threats that will automate the same low-and-slow enumeration patterns at scale via Model Context Protocol.
