A control isn't a control until you've watched it fail closed.

Static analysis tells you what the policy says. Penetration tests tell you what an attacker found last quarter. Neither tells you whether the OAuth flow rejected an expired token at 14:02 today. APIContext runs the positive and negative scenarios continuously — so the moment a control fails open, you know.

• Positive checks · valid token + correct scope = 200
• Negative checks · expired / tampered / wrong-scope = rejected
• Run on schedule from every region you care about
• Every run is evidence — defensible to auditors

Banking-grade auth, monitored the way it was meant to be used.

Low-code, totally secure management of API authentication. Integrated OAuth handling with full JWT support and a FIPS-140 compliant HSM for banking protocols and finance-level security. Monitor OpenID Connect, FAPI compliance, token refresh, and OAuth scenarios continuously — and never put a long-lived secret in a CI script.

• OAuth 2.0 + PKCE · PAR · refresh-token rotation
• OpenID Connect · userinfo · ID-token validation
• FAPI 1.0 Advanced · request-object signing
• JWS / JWT · RS256 · ES256 · keys live in the HSM

Catch what shifted between Friday's deploy and Monday's audit.

Production calls against key resources spot when security problems emerge from unexpected configuration changes — a bucket reverted to public, a JWKS rotation missed, an admin route that lost its scope check. APIContext sees them the way an attacker would: from outside the platform, with real credentials.

• Resources accidentally opened · 200 anonymous detection
• JWKS / key-rotation overdue alerts
• Scope-widening and route-exposure detection
• TLS / cipher / cert drift, watched continuously

The evidence pack writes itself — and it's the same one auditors trust.

Generate audit and compliance reports for internal and external stakeholders automatically. Every line in the report links back to a live call: timestamp, region, status, signature, scope. Internal stakeholders, external regulators, and your board all read the same numbers — because they all come from the same continuous feed.

• Quarterly compliance PDF · auto-generated, signed
• FAPI · PSD2 · Open Banking · regulator-ready
• Per-call evidence · immutable run history
• Custom dashboards for execs, audit, and the board

Right-shift checks. Independent evidence. Auditors get fewer arguments.

Shift-left found a place. Shift-right is the half nobody runs. APIContext fills it: continuous functional security monitoring on production APIs, with the same auth and the same locations your customers use — independent of the team being audited.

• Active checks on every part of the security system
• Positive + negative OAuth + JWT scenarios
• Configuration-drift detection in production
• Audit + compliance reports — internal and external

Description: API security isn't just about your design or monitoring for intrusion threats\. It's about whether the controls you shipped are still doing their job — right now, in production, from the locations your customers actually use\. APIContext makes it easy and secure to run functional security checks against live systems, continuously\.

## Summary
Right\-shift API security monitoring into production run\-time\. API security isn't just about your design or monitoring for intrusion threats\. It's about whether the controls you shipped are still doing their job — right now, in production, from the locations your customers actually use\. APIContext makes it easy and secure to run functional security checks against live systems, continuously\.
