At AI Speed, Runtime Is the Only Source of Truth

Most security tools were built to run outside of where the action is. They sit outside production systems, monitoring and alerting rather than taking action.  In the AI era, that approach is no longer effective.  

Impart was built to be a runtime security control that changes outcomes by being running where the action is - within runtime.  Running within the runtime is the only way security teams can stop attacks, control agents, and shape outcomes with the accuracy and precision needed for the AI era.

Jeremiah Kung

Global Head of Information Security

"Impart is my pick to lead the next wave in application security tooling by leveraging usage (and other) context for decisions and making it visible to both security teams and developers. This unifies two themes in security today: Shift Left and Protect Right."

James Wickett
,
CEO

"I have a sophisticated app sec team, and they regularly complain about how limiting form-based rule builders are. They will be pumped to hear about the ability to build more sophisticated rules via code. Same with dynamic runtime lists. The LLM-powered rule explainer is also pretty cool. It is gen AI that is actually useful, as opposed to framing in another gen AI chatbot and calling it a day."

"Impart offered Crossbeam a single, unified solution for Web application, API security, and LLM protection.The team has provided exceptional support and is a true partner for us."

Chris Castaldo
,
CISO

"Impart has everything you'd want in an API security platform, and there's little reason to look elsewhere - they provide discovery, testing, and protection—all in a single platform. Impart’s combination of accurate discovery with anomaly detection made them stand out in a crowded space filled with other great tools."

James Berthoty
,
CEO

"Impart saved the day during a security incident when our WAF and our SIEM failed to detect and mitigate an ongoing API attack. Impart effortlessly detected and stopped the attack for us, with great support from the team."

Dave Yu

Engineering Lead

"We've dramatically reduced our cycle time for adapting to new threats—we can now match the velocity of attackers instead of always playing catch-up. Impart has made our entire security operation more surgical and effective."
