Threat Issues

Overview

The Threat Issues section presents security findings associated with a specific API endpoint. The view helps you understand active and historical security risks detected by Akto for the selected API.

How Akto Populates Threat Issues

Akto continuously analyzes API traffic and test results to identify security issues. Each detected issue is recorded as a discrete threat entry and linked directly to the API endpoint where the behavior was observed.

Information Shown for Each Issue

Each row in the Threat Issues table represents a single security issue and includes clearly scoped attributes:

• Severity: Risk level assigned by Akto based on exploitability and impact.

• Issue Name: Security condition or weakness detected.

• Category: Classification of the issue based on Akto’s threat taxonomy.

• Domains: Affected security domains, when applicable.

• Compliance: Mapped compliance standards, when relevant.

• Discovered: Date when Akto first identified the issue.

Value for Your Security Workflow

The Threat Issues view allows you to:

• Correlate security findings directly with API endpoints.

• Track issue recurrence and discovery timelines.

• Prioritise remediation using severity and category context.

• Validate security posture changes as APIs evolve.

This section is designed to provide focused, API-level security visibility without requiring navigation across multiple testing or reporting views.
