Fortify Your API Security with the Additional Protection 

Fortify Your API Security with the Additional Protection 

Zero Trust API Security & Adaptive Authentication​

​​

  • ​Risk-Based Context Aware Adaptive Authentication for APIs

  • Zero Trust Protection Powered by MFA for App to App Authentication

  • TOTP & MFA for High-Risk API Requests

  • Protect APIs from Attacks and Fraud

API attacks aren’t just increasing – they’re evolving & API tokens are leaving everyone exposed.

Token Leakage

& Exposure

API tokens can be leaked or exposed through various means, such as being transmitted over insecure channels, stored in logs, or stored in client-side storage like cookies. When tokens are exposed, attackers can use them to gain unauthorized access to APIs and potentially sensitive data.

Insufficient Token Scopes & Privileges

If API tokens are not properly scoped or have overly broad permissions, attackers can abuse them to perform actions they shouldn't be authorized to do. Inadequate privilege management can lead to data breaches or unauthorized manipulation of resources.

Token Management

& Revocation

Managing the lifecycle of API tokens, including generating, renewing, and revoking them, can be challenging. If tokens are not properly managed, revoked, or expired, attackers might continue to have access even after their legitimate use should have ended.

Organizations are adopting APIDynamics to mitigate these API token-related security challenges. By integrating APIDynamics into their API infrastructure, organizations are enhancing their security posture and integrity of their API communications to implement Zero Trust API Access.

How It Works

01

Register API
API provider registers with APIDynamics, providing API details​

02

Integrate APIDynamics SDK
Integrate the APIDynamics SDK into your client and server applications

03

Enhance API Requests​
Call APIDynamics server or use APIDynamics SDK in your client application

04

Server-side Validation
 Validate calling APIDynamics server or using APIDynamics SDK into your server application or add into API gateway

By integrating APIDynamics into the API communication flow, clients can obtain secure and continuous risk-based adaptive authentication from APIDynamics, and the server can validate to ensure the authenticity of the API requests. This adds an extra layer of security to the communication and protects against unauthorized access to the server's resources.

Key benefits of APIDynamics for API security

1 / Multi-Layered Security

- APIDynamics combines API tokens with dynamic Authentication from token attributes, providing a risk-based adaptive authentication process.
- This multi-layered approach significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

2 / Bot-Proofing

- Automated attacks are thwarted with an additional layer of verification that automated bots cannot bypass.
- APIDynamics effectively protects against brute force attacks and credential stuffing attempts.

3 / Robust Token Protection

- Prevents token leakage and exposure, ensuring that tokens remain confidential and secure.
- Guards against tokens being transmitted over insecure channels, stored in logs, or stored in vulnerable client-side storage.

4 / Granular Privilege Management

- Ensures proper token scopes and permissions, minimizing the risk of unauthorized actions.
- Each token's privileges are precisely defined, preventing abuse and unauthorized manipulation of resources.

5 / Efficient Token Management

- Simplifies the lifecycle of API tokens, from generation to revocation, enhancing overall security.
- Revoked or expired tokens automatically prevent further unauthorized access.

6 / Man-in-the-Middle Attack Prevention

- Safeguards against interception of sensitive data during communication between clients and servers.
- Ensures that data remains confidential and integral throughout the communication process.

7 / Replay Attack Prevention

- Thwarts replay attacks with dynamic authentication and advanced validation techniques.
- Ensures that even intercepted dynamic authentication codes cannot be reused to gain unauthorized access.

8 / Enhanced Monitoring and Auditing

- Provides visibility into API activity, enabling identification of unusual patterns and potential threats.
- Facilitates proactive threat detection and timely response to security incidents.

9 / Session Revocation

- Instantly revokes sessions if suspicious activity is detected, maintaining control over access.
- Allows swift mitigation of potential threats and unauthorized access attempts.

10 / User-Friendly Integration

- Seamlessly integrates APIDynamics into your existing systems without causing disruption.
- Ensures a smooth user experience while enhancing security measures.

11 / Enhanced Compliance

- Aligns with industry security standards and regulations, ensuring a secure API environment.
- Assists organizations in meeting compliance requirements for data protection and security.

12 / Complete Peace of Mind

- APIDynamics's innovative approach provides organizations with confidence in their API security.
- Protects against token theft and unauthorized access, enhancing overall security posture.

13 / Scalable and Adaptive

- Designed to accommodate the evolving security landscape and changing threats.
- Scales with your organization's growth and adapts to new challenges.

APIDynamics empowers organizations to overcome API security challenges, providing comprehensive protection, seamless integration, and enhanced user experience. By adopting APIDynamics, organizations can rest assured that their API communications are fortified against a wide range of threats.
