Protecting APIs in a Dynamic and Interconnected Environment

Application development and delivery environments are more amorphic and elastic than ever, bringing together independent components to secure application delivery. APIs cement these emerging architectures by allowing data exchange, integration and automation. That’s why it’s critical to safeguard exposed APIs from an array of cyberthreats like data theft, data manipulation, account takeover attacks and the rising risks associated with applications’ business logic vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities can be particularly damaging as they can lead to severe operational disruptions and financial losses.

Dedicated API Cybersecurity

Radware provides a dedicated API protection solution that’s part of a comprehensive web application security architecture. This allows users to secure apps, APIs, development platforms, and infrastructure. We designed our AI-driven solution to automatically discover all API endpoints (including rogue and shadow APIs), learn their structure, learn the applications’ business logic, and automatically generate tailored security policies. The result: real-time detection and mitigation of API attacks that leverage business logic vulnerabilities of applications and embedded attacks. Radware’s API protection includes additional capabilities to provide real-time protection against all OWASP API Top 10 risk categories. Download our API Protection solution brief to learn more.

Comprehensive API Protection

Real-Time Embedded Threat Defense Detailed auto-discovery translates APIs into tailored positive security policies, ensuring real-time protection against embedded attacks. Immediate Business Logic Attacks Protection Continuously learns API business logic from real-time transactions to identify and block malicious activities without disrupting legitimate operations. Lower False Positives Delivers accurate protection with reduced false positives, suitable for production environments, enabling immediate automated action against attacks. Blocking of Unauthenticated API Use Enforces token validation to ensure only authenticated users can access and perform only authorized operations on your APIs. Comprehensive Coverage Protects against a broad scope of API threats, including business logic attacks, embedded attacks, data leakage, denial of service, bots, ATO, L7 DDoS attacks, and more. Consistent & Agnostic Security Offers the same security technology engine and policy applied across any architecture and environment, including data centers, private cloud, and public cloud.
