API Security

Runtime security validation for production APIs. Security is not a one-time design check. APIContext runs real calls against production security flows to verify OAuth, FAPI, JWT, MTLS, scopes, tokens, and protected resources.

Secured

Make real functional security calls from outside your stack.

Verify authentication, authorization, and secure API behavior the way customers and partners experience it in production.

  • Positive and negative security checks
  • OAuth, FAPI, JWT, and MTLS support
  • Encrypted key and certificate handling
Runtime metrics

Shift security assurance into production runtime.

Traditional shift-left checks are essential, but API teams also need production assurance that security functions continue to work.

  • Token refresh and scope behavior checks
  • Protected-resource verification
  • Production alerting for unexpected exposure
Auditability

Generate evidence for risk and compliance teams.

Create audit traces that prove security controls are functioning for internal assessors, external stakeholders, and regulators.

  • External end-to-end monitoring from the regions and cloud data centers stakeholders use
  • Accurate 24/7 data based on production scenarios customers depend on
  • SLO, SLA, security, and quality reporting that different teams can trust
  • Integrations with observability, incident, reporting, and DevOps workflows
APIContext helped us increase visibility of our APIs performance and significantly improved awareness.
