Shadow API Discovery: Close the Invisible Backdoors in Your B2B Architecture

"I have seen B2B companies lose millions due to a forgotten endpoint on a test server. My mission is to map, secure, and govern every connection in your Cloud ecosystem so you can sleep peacefully."

Are undocumented APIs exposing your clients' data right now?

As your B2B company grows, development teams deploy new endpoints, microservices, and temporary connections that are often forgotten within the Cloud ecosystem. These "Shadow APIs" bypass security controls, lack monitoring, and become the number one attack vector for corporate data leaks, massive data theft, and multi-million dollar compliance fines.

The trap of traditional perimeter security

Relying solely on your WAF or corporate API Gateway is useless if your own developers have spun up parallel services that fly under the radar. Protecting the front door while leaving windows wide open in the back is digital suicide; you cannot secure what you do not even know exists.

Our solution: API Discovery & Governance Architecture

At LANZAESTUDIO, we design and implement a Cloud-native continuous discovery system that traces all your network traffic and repositories to automatically identify, catalog, and audit any active endpoint across your B2B infrastructure.

  1. Automated Traffic Mapping: We deploy frictionless network analyzers that detect actual API calls, identifying services not registered in your official Gateway.
  2. Sensitive Data Classification: Our architecture inspects payloads in real time to tag which Shadow APIs are transmitting unencrypted PII or financial data.
  3. Dynamic Blocking and Quarantine: We implement automated response policies that isolate vulnerable endpoints before they can be exploited by third parties.
  4. Governance and Documentation (OAS): We automatically generate OpenAPI specifications from real traffic, forcing the standardization of all your legacy code.

The Real Impact on Corporate Security

  • Absolute Visibility: You transition from total uncertainty to a centralized dashboard with 100% of your Cloud assets and APIs mapped in real time.
  • Bulletproof Compliance: You avoid GDPR and ISO 27001 penalties by ensuring no B2B data transits through unaudited or unauthenticated channels.
  • Attack Surface Reduction: We eliminate orphaned endpoints and consolidate business logic, locking down hidden vulnerabilities that traditional scanners ignore.
