Extend authentication and authorization policies

Securing applications is the first step; a true Zero Trust architecture extends security to APIs as well.

Protection against API breaches

API security breaches have hit organizations across all industries. Even if your APIs are behind mobile apps or read only, don’t let a lack of API protection make you the next victim.

Modern API security

Implement API security best practices and modern Identity frameworks like OAuth with ease. Create API authorization policies based on application, user context, and group membership to make sure only the right people get access.

View, manage, and secure from a single control panel

Instead of spreading policies between your APIs, gateways, and applications, manage them from a single point.

Security and DevOps, on the same page

Unite your security and development teams around a centralized place for all your API authorization policies. Think SSO for APIs.

Simplified authorization policies

Help your security team by streamlining policy creation, maintenance, and auditing capabilities. As policies change, adjustments are made centrally, and downstream applications are easily updated.

More time for development

Your development team will thank you, too. They can hand off 100% of user management and authorization policy, and focus on making great apps instead.
