Akto vs Noname: Why security teams choose Akto
Noname's focus is to solve for API Security in reactive way. It's too late to secure APIs post deployment in a reactive manner. Akto's vision is to solve for API Security from the first line of code and it does so by tightly integrating in your CI/CD pipeline.
