API Security Torch Relay

Next stages

Authentication Alley
The starting point where API users are verified through secure authentication, ensuring only legitimate users have access.
Authorization Avenue
Users pass through to get permissions validated, ensuring they can only access resources they're authorized for.
Encryption End
Data is encrypted as it travels through this stage, protecting it from being intercepted and read by unauthorized parties.
Rate Limiting Road
Traffic is monitored and controlled to prevent abuse and ensure fair use of resources by limiting the number of requests a user can make.
Validation Valley
Input data is thoroughly checked and validated to prevent malicious or malformed data from entering the system.
Logging Lane
Activities are recorded for monitoring and auditing purposes, ensuring that all actions are tracked.
Throttling Thicket
Ensures that the system is not overwhelmed by excessive requests by temporarily slowing down or limiting traffic.
Token Town
Secure tokens are issued and managed, providing a mechanism for authenticating and authorizing API requests.
IP Whitelisting Way
Only requests from approved IP addresses are allowed through, adding an extra layer of security.
CORS Crescent
Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policies are enforced, ensuring that only trusted domains can interact with the API.
Firewall Fort
A robust firewall checks incoming and outgoing traffic, blocking any malicious attempts to breach security.
OAuth Oasis
Secure delegation of access through OAuth protocols, allowing third-party services limited access without sharing credentials.
Schema Street
Data schemas are enforced, ensuring that all data structures conform to predefined formats for consistency and security.
API Discovery Drive
Continuous monitoring and inventory of the APIs for potential threats, enabling swift detection and response.
Redaction Ridge
Sensitive information is automatically redacted from logs and outputs to prevent accidental data leakage.
Security Scan Summit
Regular security scans are performed to identify and address vulnerabilities in the API.
Compliance Crossing
Ensures that all API interactions comply with relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
Penetration Testing Plaza
Simulated attacks are conducted to identify and rectify potential security weaknesses before they can be exploited.
