What it does

Akto scans your APIs, LLM endpoints, and generative AI apps for security issues, giving you a dashboard of vulnerabilities and remediation tips.

When to use it
  • •You want an automated security audit of internal or public APIs before a product launch.
  • •Your team builds AI agents or LLM‑driven services and needs continuous vulnerability monitoring.
  • •You need a single UI to track security findings across multiple micro‑services and generative‑AI components.
Ready-to-paste prompt
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/v1/scan -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"apiSpecUrl":"https://api.mycompany.com/openapi.json","scanType":"FULL"}'
Heads up: Akto relies on a running MongoDB container; if you change the default `MONGO_URI` you must also update the `AKTO_MONGO_URI` env variable in the `docker-compose.yml` before starting, otherwise the UI will fail to load.
