42Crunch and GitHub Copilot Bring Deterministic API Security Guardrails to Agentic DevSecOps
New API Security Testing Plugin Enables Enterprises to Secure AI-Generated APIs at Machine Speed
42Crunch, the leading API security platform for the agentic era, today announced the availability of the 42Crunch API Security Testing Plugin for GitHub Copilot. This latest advance enables developers to continuously audit, test, remediate and validate API security vulnerabilities directly within AI-assisted development workflows.
Organizations are struggling to secure their growing API landscape in the face of increasing attacks, with AI’s heavy reliance on APIs compounding this problem. Consequently, one of the key areas of attention for security and engineering teams is the security testing of these APIs.
According to William Dupre, VP Analyst with Gartner®, “building on the testing capabilities in the managing stage, organizations that optimize their API testing capabilities will utilize specifications to further automate API testing. Various API testing tools can use specifications to run functional and security-focused tests against APIs. These efforts will be automated in the build pipeline to provide immediate feedback to development teams on security vulnerabilities in APIs.”1
