API Firewalls

An API firewall is a security tool that protects application programming interfaces (APIs) from malicious threats and unauthorized access. It monitors and filters incoming and outgoing data traffic to ensure only legitimate requests are processed. By doing so, it prevents attacks like data breaches, theft, or disruptions caused by bad actors. Think of it as a security checkpoint that validates and controls all interactions between different software systems, helping organizations safeguard sensitive information while enabling smooth, secure communication across their digital services.
