API Governance
A company needs a way to improve control over APIs, data elements, applications, and authorization policies.
Problem
A company has poor visibility and control of APIs, data elements, applications, and authorization policies.
Solution
The company selects Cloudentity to improve the API governance.
Result
Cloudentity’s solutions allow the company to
- Control APIs exposed by each and every microservice,
- Control public API exposure,
- Package APIs into API groups visible from outside as services,
- Register and manage developers,
- Let developers register applications that consume services,
- Control what applications consume services, what services they consume, and what permissions it requires from the user,
- Control conditions to consume services with authorization policies,
- Define access rules to issue tokens to consume services and API access rules,
- Control PII required by each microservice and constrain it to the necessary minimum,
- Track changes in API routing, API exposure, API specification updates, and authorization policies assigned to APIs,
- If required, track individual public API calls and get detailed traces of service to service calls (the tracing section),
- Gather statistics on services, APIs, developers, and applications,
- Discover data elements used by APIs,
- Discover missed, unauthenticated, and suspicious API calls.
