Nowadays, APIs are widely used in web applications, mobile applications, and various system integrations. API Security has become crucial for every organization due to the increasing importance. Developing APIs must also consider the security threats, especially when APIs lack proper management or accurate security configurations. Malicious attacks exploiting API vulnerabilities are a primary method of attacking web applications. While there are existing services like API gateway and web application firewalls that provide security measures, many organizations are now seeking additional tools to enhance security tailored to their APIs to prevent attacks from malicious actors.
The collaboration between IBM and Noname Security introduces Advanced API Protection, offering comprehensive and highly efficient API protection. Leveraging the capabilities of IBM’s API Connect and Noname Security’s API security solutions, organizations can effectively create, manage, and secure APIs. API Connect, equipped with Datapower as an API Gateway, enhances API security by enabling the configuration of security measures and policies such as authentication, rate limiting, transformation, encryption, and mitigating the risks of gateway attacks.
Noname Security excels in detecting unmanaged APIs and APIs that do not comply with organizational standards or OWASP API security Top 10. Additionally, Noname Security continuously monitors and analyzes real-time risks, enabling rapid responses to potential security threats.
Integrating IBM API Connect and Noname Security provides organizations with efficient API management and enhanced protection against potential threats. Key benefits include:
