Why Continuous API Security Is Key to Protecting Your Digital Business

Posted on Oct 22, 2021 by Alexei Balaganski

In the era when data has replaced oil as the most valuable commodity, APIs have become an important logistical foundation of modern digital business. As a result, APIs have also become a popular target for cyber attackers, and therefore effective API security is essential. However, focusing only on the operational aspects is no longer enough.

Security teams typically struggle to keep up with the increasing volume and scale of APIs, and traditional security and API management solutions do not address all API security challenges. A new approach is needed, according to Alexei Balaganski, Lead Analyst at KuppingerCole and Isabelle Mauny, co-founder and field CTO of 42Crunch.

Join these experts as they discuss the benefits of an integrated, continuous, and proactive approach to API security that combines proactive application security measures with continuous activity monitoring, API-specific threat analysis, and runtime policy enforcement.

Alexei Balaganski explains how the security and compliance risks that APIs are exposed to are shaping the future of API security solutions and provides an overview of the latest innovations in protecting the whole API lifecycle.

Isabelle Mauny shows how a continuous API security model can be achieved and shares a recent case study from a global manufacturer, with an overview of the 42Crunch Developer-First API Security Platform.

The Future of Privileged Access Management

PAM is an established and essential discipline within IAM. Traditional PAM is primarily focused on securing privileged access, for instance of administrators, to servers and systems. In today’s dynamic IT environments, the need for just-in-time access and for supporting agile workloads in IaaS environments is growing. PAM must support these emerging needs. There also is a growing need for integration with other areas of IAM such as Access Management solutions.

While opting for IAM that is delivered as a service is a potential solution, not all offerings are equal. Finding a service with the right combination of well-integrated capabilities is crucial to success.
