“At Traceable, we’re driven by the mission to make every API a source of secure innovation and remove any potential risks,” said Jyoti Bansal, CEO and co-founder of Traceable. “The recent attention Traceable has received from enterprise customers, security practitioners, and investors alike underscores that organizations understand the strategic importance of API security. This investment accelerates our ability to help businesses innovate fearlessly with APIs, knowing they have unmatched protection.

Traceable’s mission to secure APIs is transforming the way businesses operate and helping organizations innovate with confidence.”
This investment comes at a time when organizations are urgently seeking solutions to address the escalating risks of API attacks. This urgency is underscored by Traceable’s recent 2023 Global State of API Security Report, which revealed that 60% of organizations experienced a data breach in the past two years, with 74% having at least three API-related breaches. These findings reinforce the growing recognition that a proactive approach to API security is essential for safeguarding businesses in a world increasingly dependent on APIs.
