Apex (Apex Security)

Apex Security was an AI security startup founded in 2023 in Tel Aviv by Matan Derman (CEO) and Tomer Avni (CPO), backed by Sequoia Capital, Index Ventures and angel investors including Sam Altman. Its platform gave enterprises visibility into generative-AI and LLM usage — public tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, and in-house AI applications — then let them define policy, detect violations and shadow AI, and respond to attacks across the AI attack surface. Tenable announced its intent to acquire Apex on 2025-05-29 and closed the acquisition in June 2025 for approximately $47.8M; the technology was folded into the Tenable One exposure management platform and now ships as Tenable One AI Exposure. Apex no longer operates as an independent company: the apexhq.ai domain has lapsed and was re-registered by an unrelated party on 2026-05-13, and now serves a Namecheap parking page. There is no Apex developer portal, documentation, or public API surface to catalog.

Apex (Apex Security) is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Artificial Intelligence, AI Security, and LLM Security.

Apex (Apex Security)’s developer surface includes pricing and 5 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/apex: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  notes: 'Second pass re-verified the first and found nothing new. Company is defunct/acquired: Tenable announced intent 2025-05-29
    and closed June 2025; technology now ships as Tenable One AI Exposure. Re-probed 2026-07-19: apexhq.ai A=162.255.119.26
    only, and docs./developer./api.apexhq.ai have NO DNS records at all, so no API host exists. www.apexhq.ai serves a Namecheap
    parking page confirming the domain was re-registered by an unrelated party on 2026-05-13. Because the domain is no longer
    controlled by Apex, any content harvested from it would be MISATTRIBUTED to this company — a second, independent reason
    to write zero artifacts here beyond the absent API surface. No developer portal, docs, OpenAPI, packages, well-known,
    or event surface exists to enrich. Any successor API surface belongs in all/tenable/, not this repo. No artifacts written
    by design — writing any would be fabrication.'
