Export Activity to Custom Webhook

Overview

Akto allows you to forward API threat activity to an external system through a webhook endpoint. Webhook export enables integration with SIEM platforms, monitoring pipelines, or internal security automation workflows.

Akto sends threat activity events in batches every 15 minutes to the configured webhook endpoint. Security teams can process the received payload for alerting, enrichment, or incident response workflows.

Steps to Configure Webhook Export

1

Navigate to API Threat Activity in the Akto dashboard.

2

Select More Actions in the top-right corner.

3

Select Export via webhook integration.

4

Enter the Webhook endpoint URL where the external system receives threat activity events. Example: https://your-webhook-endpoint.com/events

5

Enable Use gzip encoding when the receiving system expects compressed payloads with the header Content-Encoding: gzip.

Leave the option disabled when the receiving system expects standard JSON payloads.

6

Add Custom Headers when the receiving service requires authentication or routing metadata. Common examples include Authorization headers or X-API-Key headers.

7

Select Save to activate webhook export.

Akto begins sending threat activity data to the configured endpoint after configuration is saved.

Result of Webhook Integration

Configured webhook integration allows security teams to stream API threat activity into external systems such as:

• SIEM platforms

• Security automation pipelines

• Incident response tooling

Webhook export ensures external monitoring platforms receive threat activity data without manual exports.
