Method Security

Method Security is a cybersecurity company delivering cyber resilience to the U.S. Government and critical enterprises through an AI-native, full-spectrum security platform. The Method Platform blends offensive and defensive operations across cloud, on-premise, and internet-denied environments, and ships two flagship products: Bastion (digital-twin driven exposure and attack-surface management that maps, validates, and controls resources and attack paths) and Reaper/Operations (software-defined offensive operations and red-team execution). The platform is built around an Ontology object model, AI Agents governed by granular Policies, Jackal C2 agents, Overwatch terminal session recording, and an Explorer/Automator workspace. Method exposes a public REST API (OpenAPI 3.1) through the method-api-gateway, a published Python SDK (methodsdk), a docs MCP server, and OAuth 2.0 client-credentials authentication backed by Keycloak. Backed by OpenAI, Palantir, Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, and Blackstone.

Method Security publishes 10 APIs on the APIs.io network, including audit API, auth API, blueprints API, and 7 more. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Cybersecurity, Offensive Security, and Exposure Management.

The Method Security catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

Method Security’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, authentication, CLI, changelog, and 25 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Government & Public Sector 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.

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