Threat Stack

Threat Stack was a Boston-based cloud security company providing full-stack cloud security observability, intrusion detection, and compliance monitoring for infrastructure and applications across cloud-native workloads including virtual machines, containers, and Kubernetes. Its platform combined rules and supervised machine learning to detect threats, vulnerabilities, and attacks in real time. Threat Stack exposed a RESTful V2 API (HAWK/HMAC authenticated) and trigger-based webhook alerts, along with first-party SDKs, a Go CLI, and configuration-management modules (Chef, Ansible, Puppet, Terraform, CloudFormation, Helm). The company was acquired by F5 in 2021 and the product is now F5 Distributed Cloud App Infrastructure Protection (AIP); the original threatstack.com and api.threatstack.com domains have been decommissioned.

Threat Stack is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Cloud Security, Cloud Monitoring, and Intrusion Detection.
