At AWS re:Invent 2025, Salt Security announced Ask Pepper AI, a new generative AI-powered natural language interface built on Amazon Bedrock that instantly answers any question about an organization’s API landscape, risk posture, and sensitive data exposure.

No more digging through dashboards. Just ask:

  • “What are my top 5 highest-risk APIs right now?”
  • “Which APIs expose PII or authentication tokens?”
  • “Summarize posture gaps for my Payment API.”
  • “Show me all zombie APIs in production.”

…and get precise, actionable answers in seconds.

Why This Changes Everything

Salt’s H2 2025 State of API Security Report revealed the painful truth:

  • Only 19% of organizations are very confident in their API inventory
  • 15% admit they don’t know which APIs expose PII

Ask Pepper AI eliminates that blind spot by democratizing Salt’s industry-leading discovery, posture, and threat data with conversational access.

Michael Nicosia, Co-Founder & COO at Salt Security: “API security is complex, but understanding your risk shouldn’t be. With Ask Pepper AI powered by Amazon Bedrock, we’re putting powerful, intuitive security insights into the hands of everyone—from SOC analysts to CISOs. When most organizations aren’t even sure what APIs they have, the ability to just ask and get an immediate answer is a game-changer.”
