API Protection
APIs are now the largest part of many attack surfaces. API protection keeps them visible and defended.
Overview
What is API Protection?
API protection combines API discovery and inventory, schema validation, authentication and authorization enforcement at gateways, rate limiting and abuse detection, and monitoring of API traffic for attacks and data exposure.
