Modern software increasingly lives online, using application programming interfaces, or APIs, to ingest and expose data, stay updated, and generally work more effectively. APIs are great business accelerators with thousands of uses, from drawing on a file of recipes for a grocery website, to attaching a secure payment system to an online retailer, to adding features to existing IT infrastructure.
How can organizations use modern, API-based development techniques to fuel their businesses while keeping their environments secure? By evolving from a network perimeter model to something that applies security and protection at every point of interaction. Here are five important techniques to help.The best security is to lock everything down without giving any access.
OAuth uses a token that uniquely identifies a single application or user on a single device, while keeping passwords secret. Tokens have scope; they’re a mechanism to limit an application’s access to a user’s account. This is much better than using a password that has wide access. Additionally, the scope and the lifetime of the token itself can be easily limited.
When these attacks happen, rate limits and quotas help you keep control of your organization’s digital assets and protect your customers’ experiences and privacy. API management platforms that support rate limits let API teams establish thresholds at which spike arrests are triggered, helping to keep back ends from being impacted by unexpected activities.
It should be simple to see changes in traffic, including from day to day, week to week, and so on; view patterns across chosen time periods; access information about change management and governance data; and view policy configuration data on a per-API and per-proxy basis. Just like in the firewall security days, conducting code and security reviews increases the likelihood of finding vulnerabilities before they affect customers.
