Advanced API Security

The key requirements for API security are:

1. Installed and configured Docker.
2. A created docker network.
3. Integrate and start containerized application.
4. Imported docker image within Wallarm API firewall.
5. Start, test and enable the API firewall

Wallarm provides API security by:

1. Analyzing all incoming HTTPS requests and instantly blocking all malicious requests.
2. Continuously collecting metrics from the entire network traffic & applies machine learning in the cloud.
3. Applies individual fine tuned security rules & scans vulnerabilities via a network scanner.

Wallarm API discovery identifies all API endpoints via its discovery feature. Once it discovers them it not only inspects API sepcific traffic attacks but also reconstructs API specs and behaviour based on the traffic.

1. Scan malicious actors from traffic.
2. Implement OWASP protection for API threats.
3. Configure alerts and notifications
4. Integrate SIEM, SOAR and other tools to collect data logs.

The best way to vet hidden security vulnerabilities are via Wallarm's:

1. Passive detection method: The vulnerability was found due to the security incident that occurred.
2. Active threat verification
3. Vulnerability scanner: All elements of the scope are scanned for typical vulnerabilities.

Implement API firewall which is a light-weighted API Firewall to protect your API endpoints in cloud-native environments with API Schema validation. Wallarm AI is a unique feature that automatically detects and parse complicated API protocols and then set up security rules based on specific data or parameters deep inside the API.

Wallarm multi-cloud platform provides key components to secure your business against emerging threats.

1. Use a strong authentication and authorisation solution
2. Prioritise security
3. Inventory and manage your APIs
4. Practice the principle of least privilege
5. Encrypt traffic using TLS
6. Remove information that’s not meant to be shared
7. Don’t expose more data than necessary
8. Validate input
9. Use rate limiting
10. Use a web application firewall

Spring Boot is an open source application that can be secured using Wallarm's machine learning feature.

Secure private APIs using:

1. Defense-in-Depth: Must be monitored for security issues at their respective ingress points.
2. Bot protection using automation: To distinguish “bad bots” from “good bots” that are just high-volume API calls.
3. Authentication: The most important issue is the correct implementation of API authentication and credential management

According to the official website of OPA, OPA's flexibility, decoupling of policy decisions and policy enforcement from business logic and resource management offer several advantages for security and compliance-heavy applications. The website also provides various adoption patterns, operational modes, and information for using OPA with popular architectures and platforms.

‍

  A: OPA works by intercepting requests to systems or services and evaluating them against a set of policies defined in a declarative language called Rego. If the request is allowed by the policy, it is granted. Otherwise, it is denied.

‍

  A: The benefits of using OPA include easier policy management and enforcement, improved security and compliance, centralized policy store, and ability to integrate with various cloud and container management tools.

‍

  A: OPA can be used for a variety of use cases such as application-level access control, Kubernetes cluster authorization, and cloud security, to name a few.

‍

  A: Open Policy Agent (OPA) is an open-source policy engine that allows organizations to enforce policies across their systems and services in a consistent and scalable manner
