API Security is Critical

API Security Is Critical

You need tools that work across the development lifecycle. APImetrics monitors your APIs for security misconfigurations and vulnerabilities across your entire CI/CD pipeline.

APImetrics identifies security and privacy risks, such as missing authentication, inappropriate PII sharing and over-scoped data payloads. It also monitors proper handling of APIs in production.

Key Benefits

Find and monitor sensitive data exposure over your APIs

• Personal, financial, health and other sensitive data identifiers
• Contain sensitive data within your infrastructure through deployment
• Health data identifiers

Manage conformance to your secure specifications

• Ensure proper authentication to protected resources
• Review API updates before pushing to production
• Flag deviations from your architected spec, or from common open standards

Monitor production environments to guard against API drift

• Handle OAuth on live monitoring
• Verify the JWT signing process
• Track transport security, including mTLS

Technical Details

• Easy to integrate for pre-production: install quickly using an SDK, or with npm or pip install.
• Simple to configure for production: set up API call monitoring in less than one minute.
• Personal data taxonomy based on the open source, extensible Fideslang spec.
• Rules for personal data transfer can be configured using Open Policy Agent.
• Fine-grained authorization for contextual awareness, from the OpenID Foundation's Financial API and other open standards.
• Integrated HSM available.

Glossary

The terms used in this one-pager, defined for teams that secure APIs.

mTLS (mutual TLS)

A form of TLS in which the client as well as the server presents a certificate, so both ends of a connection are authenticated.

JWT (JSON Web Token)

A signed token format used to carry claims between parties. Verifying the JWT signing process checks that tokens are signed as designed.
