Ping + Axway: Expand Your Reach Without Compromising Security
Today’s enterprises are changing their relationships with data and applications in a hurry. Eager to realize the organization-wide benefits of API-driven access, executives are providing broad financial support to build infrastructure that delivers on the promises of the API economy. These investments enable modern organizations to leave behind their legacies of managing data and applications in silos and begin a new chapter where every resource can be accessed by anyone at any time, without the need to build custom integrations for each and every new corporate initiative.
Across industries, APIs are improving workforce productivity, increasing partnership velocity and even providing the basis for new ways to engage customers and generate revenue. The extensive set of benefits APIs offer is guaranteeing an accelerated adoption curve and delighting digital transformation leaders charged with preparing their companies for the future.
Few, however, are taking a standardized approach across their organizations to ensure the security of data and other digital resources exposed via APIs. This has resulted in a number of highly publicized breaches and will undoubtedly be the cause of future incidents for many as the API attack surface continues to expand and a new generation of threats emerges.
Digital businesses must arm themselves with the tools necessary to win these battles. One critical weapon: a comprehensive approach to APIs that protects against a range of common and advanced cyber attacks.
On average, companies manage 363 APIs and over 50% of net new API integrations are built in under 30 days.
Digital Business Is Built on APIs AND a Secure API Infrastructure
Early adopters of APIs were the first beneficiaries of eased integrations, reusable architecture and faster applications delivery. They were also the first faced with questions such as:
Full LifeCycle API Management providers like Axway have been on the forefront of answering these questions and guiding enterprises through successful business unit and organization wide API deployments for over a decade. With capabilities to build, govern, secure, publish, promote and analyze the performance of APIs, Axway’s AMPLIFY Platform was designed to help enterprises innovate faster, and also more securely. All of these capabilities ensure that Axway customers can rapidly deliver new APIs with the confidence that security best practices have been followed.
But hackers are getting smarter, and today’s API security must extend beyond both traditional application security best practices and access control. Ping and Axway’s joint solution delivers a new, comprehensive approach to securing your API infrastructures against the emerging cyber attacks that target them
Foundational API Security from Axway
Axway’s AMPLIFY platform ensures that APIs are protected against common threat vectors. To provide broad coverage for all APIs, it offers optimal flexibility and granularity of security policies, which can be applied globally or at the business or technical API level. Some of these protections include:
Advanced API Security from Ping Identity
PingIntelligence for APIs adds a layer of cyber security which goes beyond foundational protections to fill the gaps in API security programs. Using artificial intelligence (AI), it detects anomalous behavior on APIs, as well as the data and applications exposed via APIs. Key protections include:
With Axway and Ping together, your APIs will benefit from protection against a range of common and advanced cyber attacks.
