# Raising the Bar for Web App and API Security

## Quantitative analysis and market comparisons

## Most Web Application and API Security Isn't Enough

Securing the web applications and APIs that underpin modern cloud architectures is a continually evolving challenge for security professionals. The technology is always changing, and almost all existing web security solutions lack the coverage your teams need.

But with the right approach --- one that proactively implements some best practices --- you can get ahead of CI/CD security risks and harden your pipelines over time.

Palo Alto Networks is tackling this problem head-on with our [**Web Application and API Security modul**e](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma/cloud/web-application-API-security), a part of our Cloud Workload protection capabilities in the Prisma® Cloud platform.

Start by reading our new paper, "Raising the Bar for Web Application and API Security." In it, you'll see what modern WAAS solutions need to operate effectively, along with a quantitative method for testing them:

The paper also compares Prisma Cloud against other leading solutions in the market, providing critical performance data to help you make an informed decision.
