05
Protect all APIs — even internal APIs —
against hijack and attack
Add security measures to safeguard
the API service control layer and block
common web API (REST and SOAP)
attacks.
06
Guarantee service-levels for both
internal and external customers
Allow business and technical users to
measure, monitor and act on changes in
performance or demand.
07
Think of security as a window, not a wall
With the right security in place, you can
open up data to mobile access, cloud
integration and partner collaboration.
Use identity management infrastructure
along with API-specific identity patterns
(OAuth, for instance) to provide safe
access to APIs.
08
Separate service exposure
from policy enforcement
Give API developers a suite of standard
and reusable policy rules that can be
easily applied to microservices that
represent the specific needs of a given
application.
09
Protect back-end services from unusual
traffic patterns
Set limits and expectations for API
services and their consumers to
manage scale and traffic expectations,
and protect back-end services from
malicious activity.

9
WAYS TO
SECURE AND
ENHANCE
YOUR
ARCHITECTURE
01
Be creative and inventive without
putting data at risk
API access control and policy rules
let you be transparent without
compromising corporate security and
regulatory compliance.
02
Give developers access to common
services for seamless cloud integration
Implement a consistent API-centric
integration layer for cloud-to-ground
data exchange, and ensure that existing
identity services are extended to new
cloud applications.
03
Know how data and services are being
accessed from everywhere
Use your API platform as a central
point for governing the flow of data to
and from the cloud and mobile apps,
between business applications, with
partners, and across customer-facing
services.
04
Prepare for the dreaded IT
or security audit
Use application and API management
platforms to maintain irrefutable and
actionable information about how your IT
services interact with on-premise, cloud
and mobile apps and services.
