In a world where digital transformations are rapidly advancing, securing your APIs is not just an option but a necessity. Cloudsine stands at the forefront of this essential security frontier, offering reliable API protection services for several countries across the globe, including Singapore. Our solution encompasses a thorough discovery of all your APIs, including those shadow endpoints often overlooked, ensuring they are shielded against potential attacks.
With Cloudsine, you benefit from an API security strategy that blends advanced technology with practical, real-world applications optimised to keep your data safe and your operations smooth.
APIs are integral to the digital infrastructure of any modern business, particularly in tech-forward areas like Singapore. They allow your systems to interact seamlessly, but this openness also makes them vulnerable. Without effective API security measures, your business risks exposure to data theft and potential compliance violations, which can have dire financial and reputational consequences, undermining both stability and growth.
With more organisations utilising APIs, the attack surface has expanded, and cyber attackers are more interested in exploiting API vulnerabilities.
In 2023, there was a 30% increase in API-related vulnerabilities compared to the previous year*. This indicates that attackers are becoming more focused on APIs.
*Statistics from Wallarm’s Annual API ThreatStats Report 2024
The OWASP API Security Top 10 and other API attacks are on the rise, meaning organisations need to start investing in API security.
With more companies transmitting increasingly sensitive data through their APIs, such as personally identifiable information and financial details, there is more risk of data exposure.
WebOrion® Protector allows you to discover shadow APIs and defend against the OWASP API Security Top 10 risks. By integrating WebOrion®, including its web application firewall, into your security strategy, you ensure comprehensive API protection across your digital landscape. This advanced tool not only identifies vulnerabilities but also provides proactive safeguards to prevent potential attacks, helping your organisation stay ahead of cyber threats.
With WebOrion® Protector, you can effectively identify and secure your API endpoints, ensuring they remain shielded against the latest cyber threats. This API protection tool developed in Singapore streamlines the process of detecting and addressing API vulnerabilities, helping safeguard your digital operations effectively.
Beyond the OWASP API Security Top 10, WebOrion® Protector also prevents API data breaches by intercepting and blocking malformed responses. Moreover, it strengthens the defences around your REST and GraphQL API endpoints by blocking malicious requests in their tracks. To enhance this API attack protection, WebOrion® employs a layered security approach that includes traffic analysis for anomaly detection and active monitoring to identify potential threats quickly. Furthermore, setting stringent access controls and employing encryption ensures that data transmitted through your APIs is protected against unauthorised access and leaks, maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of your digital assets.
Cloudsine’s WebOrion® Protector delivers a range of deployment options designed to seamlessly adapt to your security needs without locking you into a specific technology stack. Whether your priority is on-premises control, cloud convenience, or a hybrid approach, our API protection services offer comprehensive protection tailored to enhance your organisation’s security posture.
Choose the configuration that best fits your operational demands and strategic goals.
Here’s a look at how our API protection services can be leveraged across different industries in Singapore and other countries.
Government organisations can utilise our API protection tool to secure their online systems for handling public transactions, safeguarding sensitive citizen data, and preventing the dissemination of false public information, thereby enhancing the integrity and efficiency of public service operations.
Banks and financial institutions can integrate our API protection tool directly into their existing systems to secure APIs used for transactions and data management. This integration allows them to protect sensitive operations and ensure compliance with regulatory standards while maintaining the integrity of their financial services.
Our WebOrion® Protector can be used to safeguard an internet service providers’ API endpoints from unauthorised access and DDoS attacks. This can help in preventing service disruptions and protecting subscriber data.
Our API protection services help universities secure APIs used in managing student data systems, such as enrollments, academic records, and campus communications. This ensures that all digital interactions within the university’s operations are securely managed and protected from unauthorised access.
By integrating our API protection tools into their systems, healthcare organisations can securely manage APIs that handle patient data transfers and system operations. This integration allows them to maintain privacy standards and ensure that all sensitive medical information is securely processed and compliant with healthcare regulations.

Take proactive steps to protect your APIs with WebOrion® Protector. Our tool delivers unmatched API attacks protection, safeguarding your digital services and enhancing compliance with regulatory standards. Contact our cybersecurity experts today to learn how our API protection services can secure your web operations.
Our API protection tool secures REST and GraphQL API endpoints against malicious requests and prevents data breaches by blocking malformed API responses. Additionally, it detects shadow API endpoints, so you can secure them, and threat actors cannot exploit these vulnerabilities. Our API firewall also supports the OWASP ModSecurity Core Rule Set, protecting APIs from the OWASP Top 10 API Security risks.
Cloudsine’s API protection tool operates using a positive security model, meaning that it filters traffic based on a defined list of permitted specifications. Any API requests and responses that don’t meet these criteria are automatically blocked. This approach ensures that only authorised traffic is processed, effectively preventing unauthorised access and potential attacks by strictly adhering to predefined security standards.
Cloudsine delivers strong security while maintaining API performance by using advanced algorithms that detect and block threats with a latency of less than 5 milliseconds. This rapid processing ensures that legitimate requests are handled almost instantaneously, keeping your APIs secure without noticeable delays so your operations remain both protected and highly responsive.
We update our API protection tools as new threats and attack methods are discovered, ensuring your API security remains effective against the latest risks. These updates include both minor adjustments and major enhancements, keeping the protection tool current and capable of defending against emerging threats.
