Description: 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\.

## Summary
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\.

## Stats
- 24/7 security flow checks
- FAPI runtime validation
- JWT signing support
- audit security evidence

## Page sections

### Make real functional security calls from outside your stack\.
Category: Secured
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

### Shift security assurance into production runtime\.
Category: Runtime metrics
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

### Generate evidence for risk and compliance teams\.
Category: Auditability
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
