Valtix

Valtix is a multicloud network security platform delivering agentless, cloud-native firewalling — ingress WAF/IDS/IPS, egress TLS decryption and exfiltration prevention, and east-west inspection — across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI, driven by continuous cloud asset discovery and tag-based dynamic policy. Founded in 2018 and acquired by Cisco in 2023, the product is sold today as Cisco Multicloud Defense; the Valtix documentation site and the verified Terraform provider (valtix-security/valtix) remain live and actively maintained under the Valtix name, while the standalone website and commercial pages redirect to Cisco.

Valtix is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Cloud Security, Network Security, and Multi-Cloud.

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

Valtix’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, support, changelog, authentication, and 9 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-08 · rubric v0.20.0
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/valtix: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
