API security platform with real-time attack prevention and managed SOC services
Wallarm builds an inline API security platform combining automated threat detection with a managed SOC team—addressing a market gap where most competitors offer observability without blocking capabilities. The tech stack (Go, Rust, Envoy, Kubernetes) reflects infrastructure-grade engineering maturity, while active projects around hybrid deployments, proof-of-value execution, and MSSP ecosystem expansion signal a sales-infrastructure play targeting enterprises with complex cloud footprints. Engineering-heavy hiring (8 of 14 open roles) paired with customer engineering and POV focus suggests they're scaling toward larger deal complexity.
Wallarm protects APIs and AI agents from attack by deploying inline to block threats in real time, paired with a 24/7 managed security operations center. Founded in 2016 and based in San Francisco, the company serves mid-market to enterprise customers running APIs across hybrid cloud environments. The platform delivers API inventory, abuse detection, and active threat prevention—distinct from alert-only competitors. Customers span US, European, and Latin American markets; the team is distributed across Serbia, Mexico, Argentina, and Bulgaria alongside US-based staff.
Wallarm's platform is built on Go, Rust, Envoy, and Kubernetes. The stack includes Nginx, Terraform, and both AWS and GCP for deployment, supporting inline blocking across hybrid environments.
Wallarm is headquartered in San Francisco, California. The company was founded in 2016 and employs 51–200 people, with distributed teams across the US and multiple countries.
