Impart Security

Impart Security is a runtime security platform that unifies WAF, API security, and AI/LLM/agent/MCP protection on one inline enforcement engine. It analyzes the full request/response flow — headers, parameters, query strings, and bodies — models API behavior with machine learning, detects anomalies from a learned baseline, and takes inline mitigation actions (alert, block, behavioral rate limiting, deception, tarpits) before requests reach backend systems. Impart also auto-generates OpenAPI documentation from live traffic, integrates with gateways such as Kong, and ships a programmable rules engine managed as code via first-party Terraform and Pulumi providers against its v0 REST API. Founded by Jonathan DiVincenzo, Marc Harrison, and Brian Joe; backed by Madrona, CRV, 8-bit Capital, and Haystack. SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR ready.

Impart Security publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, API Security, Runtime Protection, and WAF.

Impart Security’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, signup flow, support, authentication, and 11 more developer resources.

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.
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/impart-security: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
