Valtix

Valtix is a multicloud network security platform delivering agentless, cloud-native firewalling — ingress WAF/IDS/IPS, egress TLS decryption and exfiltration prevention, and east-west inspection — across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI, driven by continuous cloud asset discovery and tag-based dynamic policy. Founded in 2018 and acquired by Cisco in 2023, the product is sold today as Cisco Multicloud Defense; the Valtix documentation site and the verified Terraform provider (valtix-security/valtix) remain live and actively maintained under the Valtix name, while the standalone website and commercial pages redirect to Cisco.

agent aware

More than an index entry, but the surface is still mostly links rather than artifacts — the cohort most likely to move a full band from modest, well-targeted work.

Kin Score

API Evangelist profiles Valtix the way a machine reads it — 3 machine-readable artifacts, pulled from the provider's own public surface and indexed so a developer, an analyst, or an AI agent can evaluate it against every other provider on the network.

Every provider in the network is reduced to the same set of machine-readable artifacts — OpenAPI contracts, event specifications, GraphQL schemas, runnable collections, pricing and rate-limit signals, security posture, OAuth scopes, and the agent surfaces (MCP servers and skills) that let software drive the API on its own. We profile them because the interface is the part of a company you can actually inspect: it is a truer signal of what a provider does than any marketing page. From those artifacts we compute the Kin Score — Valtix scores 23.1/100 (emerging), with a separate agent-readiness read of 15/100 (agent aware). The full breakdown is below, followed by every artifact we hold — each card links through to its machine-readable definition on apis.io.

Kin Score

This is the API Evangelist rating — a single, repeatable read computed from the artifacts on this page. Green fill is points earned; the red track is points possible, so every bar shows earned-versus-possible at a glance.

How we profile Valtix

Each block below is one kind of artifact we hold for Valtix. For each we say what it is and why it earns a place in the profile, then list every one we've indexed — capped at two rows, scroll within the panel for the rest.

Event Specifications 1

Not every API is request/response. AsyncAPI describes the event-driven and streaming side — the webhooks and channels — so the asynchronous half of the interface is documented the same way the synchronous half is.

AsyncAPI definitions for this provider's event-driven and streaming APIs.

Security Posture 2

Authentication, domain security, vulnerability disclosure, and trust-center signals — the evidence that a provider takes security seriously enough to document it. We profile it because you can't govern what you can't see.
