API Access Management & Security of ekaAPI Platform

Eka has well-defined and planned API authorization policies based on application, user context, and group membership to make sure only the right people get access. ekaAPI platform ensures that API requests are authenticated, authorized, validated, and cleansed and could still be processed when the service is under load. ekaAPI not only uses security measures from network security controls but also from low-coded APIs that handle and drop invalid and malicious incoming requests and take adequate measures so as to maintain the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the data and resources handled under APIs. ekaAPI has already addressed various security risks like Broken Object, User, and Function Level Authorization in which the authentication process can be compromised by the attacker. It has also addressed the vulnerabilities like excess data exposure, improper asset management, lack of resources, and injection flaws.

ekaAPI authenticates and comprehensively authorizes the control to identify all related users and devices also implementing access control features. The network traffic for API requests and responses is encrypted. The ekaAPI provides validation routines to validate data to prevent standard injection flaws and cross-site forgery. A standard risk assessment is also carried out for all APIs on the ekaAPI Platform. It uses SOAP and RESTful API options to access web services for data transmission. It also records all APIs in a registry to define characteristics such as their name, purpose, payload, usage, access, live date, retired date, and owner.

In addition to thoroughly testing APIs during development, ekaAPI developer teams regularly check the security controls protecting live APIs to ensure they function as expected and behave as documented.
