Virsec

Virsec Systems is a San Jose, California cybersecurity company that builds the Virsec Security Platform (VSP), a deny-by-default, allow-on-trust zero trust runtime defense for cloud and legacy server workloads. VSP combines host protection, memory exploit protection and web protection with a Centralized Management Server (CMS) and distributed Probes, stopping ransomware, remote code execution, living-off-the-land and zero-day attacks at runtime without patching. The platform is customer-deployed (on-prem VM, EC2/Azure/GCP, Kubernetes/Helm or SaaS CMS) and exposes a customer-facing REST surface: a CMS API reference served from the CMS console under Help > API Documentation, the Centralized Probe Management (CPM) API under /rms for probe install, upgrade, migration, log/stat/data collection and vsp-cli execution, and configurable outbound webhooks that push detected incidents into existing SIEM, ITSM and ticketing systems (QRadar, Splunk, Syslog, Zendesk).

Virsec publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Security, Cybersecurity, Application Security, and Workload Protection.

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

Virsec’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, authentication, changelog, CLI, 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/virsec: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

  name: Virsec Security Platform CMS API
  description: The Virsec Security Platform Centralized Management Server (CMS) exposes a RESTful API for procuring information
    from CMS. From VSP 3.0.0 and above, the available APIs are listed by category in the CMS console under Help > API Documentation,
    where each API lists its base URL and required parameters and can be executed interactively; the bearer token used is
    the OAuth token obtained from Access Management. The CMS is customer-deployed, so the base URL is the customer's own CMS
    host rather than a shared multi-tenant endpoint.

    CPM self-upgrade, script installation, remote vsp-cli execution and VSP service start/stop. Requests use HTTP Basic authentication

    operations added in 2.11 and migrate/self-upgrade/service in 3.0.0.
