Today APIs are a strategic necessity for organisations of different sizes and industries and critical factors driving continuous innovation and agility.
Securely connecting data, people, systems and devices are at the heart of many digital transformation initiatives, which largely depend on APIs to provide the powerful, flexible integrations they require. As the number of connected devices and applications continue growing every day, so has the significance of APIs and how they are designed, used, managed, and perhaps more importantly, protected from potential data breaches.
So how can you ensure your valuable enterprise information remains secure and confidential at all times?
Syntegrity Solutions leverages IBM Cloud Pak for Integration with its cutting-edge components like IBM API Connect and IBM DataPower Gateway to help organisations meet their secure API integration needs. As a result, the solution provides robust enterprise-grade security, enables simplified integration, making it possible to reduce both costs and complexity.
IBM DataPower Gateway uses C++ for a single, signed, encrypted image instead of Java-based gateways, which can leave you open to hacks, and is trusted by defence departments and banks globally.
A single gateway allows for more robust security in a simple platform, while other solutions rely on multiple gateways, thus producing additional work and costs.
Deployed in high-performance physical, virtual, cloud, Linux or container-based form factors, IBM DataPower Gateway can achieve up to 30,000 TPS.
IBM DataPower Gateway, in combination with IBM API Connect, allows your organisation to proficiently secure and manage your
entire API ecosystem across several cloud environments while leveraging multiple layers of security:
OAuth for accessing user data via third-party applications or websites without requiring the user to share personal information like your password.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) for secure data transmission through websites to prevent hackers from stealing or interfering with the information you share.
Enterprise user registries for authenticating users and securing APIs, including LDAP directory, authentication URL, SCIM and local user registry.
