Ford Motor Company demonstrate how to approach API Security
No manual rules. No guesswork.
No false positives.
Your most valuable intelligence isn’t AI, it’s your developers. Empower them with tools to be the driving force behind API security – ensuring continuous, unparalleled protection across the entire API lifecycle.
Don’t worry, we’ll do all the heavy lifting!
01 Design
Developer initiates security work at design time.
Best practices and recommendations are documented.
02 Develop
Developers document the API contract with OpenAPI / Swagger.
API Contract security is audited from IDEs (VSCode, Intellij) using 42Crunch plugins.
03 Integrate & Test
API Contract security is audited via CI/CD pipeline, enforcing security compliance.
API implementation is tested for vulnerabilities/discrepancies via Conformance Scan.
04 Deploy & Protect
API is automatically protected from OpenAPI / Swagger file with our API Firewall, deployed in line of traffic.
Unique positive security model, based on OpenAPI / Swagger. No manual rules to write and maintain.
