description: Cequence Security delivers the Unified API Protection (UAP) platform, combining external API attack-surface discovery,
  posture and compliance analysis, inline runtime protection, and testing into a single solution for defending web applications,
  APIs, and AI endpoints against business logic abuse, bot attacks, and fraud. The Cequence product family is organized into
  API Spyder (agentless external discovery), API Sentinel (API inventory, posture, and compliance), API Spartan (runtime bot
  and abuse defense), API Security Testing (shift-left OpenAPI conformance and vulnerability testing), and Cequence Defender
  (inline reverse-proxy enforcement of API policy).
