Global Fintech Secures 500+ APIs and Boosts Reliability with Zyrix API Copilot

In digital banking, seamless APIs and strong security are critical. A global fintech firm managing 500+ APIs faced growing pressure to deliver faster, safer services – while legacy testing lagged behind. Zyrix API Copilot stepped in to transform API quality at scale.

Business Scenario & Challenges

Despite its advanced tech stack, the client faced multiple roadblocks in scaling and securing its API ecosystem:

Uncontrolled API Growth : 500+ APIs were frequently updated leading to broken integrations and delayed releases.
Security and Compliance Gaps : APIs handled sensitive data but lacked automated, scalable testing to catch vulnerabilities or ensure PCI DSS and GDPR compliance.
Performance Instability : During peak hours, APIs struggled under pressure slowing down transactions and risking downtime.
Manual Testing Bottlenecks : QA relied on manual scripts, limiting scalability, slowing feedback loops, and increasing the risk of production defects.
Poor Test Coverage : High-priority workflows, especially real-time API chains, often went untested due to time and resource constraints.

The Solution

To address these issues, Zyrix deployed Zyrix API Copilot, directly integrated into the client’s CI/CD pipelines. The platform introduced smart automation, performance simulation, and security validation designed specifically for large-scale, API-first systems. Key capabilities included automated end-to-end API testing, integrated security scans, performance load testing, and contract & SLA monitoring.
