Zero Trust Security for your APIs - Akshata Sawant
Implementing Zero Trust Security for APIs: A granular, per-resource approach eliminating trust in network infrastructure and ensuring valid requests, visibility, and centralized management.
- Zero Trust Security is an architectural approach that eliminates trust in the entire network infrastructure, moving from traditional perimeter-based security to a granular, per-resource security.
-
The four principles of Zero Trust Security are:
- Never trust, always verify
- Implement least privileges
- Have full inspection and visibility
- Have centralized management
- Zero Trust Security is not just about security, but about making sure that only valid and authorized requests are processed, eliminating risks and threats.
- Traditional security approaches lack visibility and control, making it difficult to detect and respond to threats.
- In a Zero Trust Security model, every request is verified and validated, including authentication and authorization.
- Implementing Zero Trust Security requires a shift from traditional security practices, such as relying on a single layer of security, to a multi-layered approach that includes APIs, gateways, and other security solutions.
- Zero Trust Security can be implemented using various security protocols, such as JWT (JSON Web Token) and OAuth.
- The goal of Zero Trust Security is to prevent unauthorized access and ensure the security and integrity of data and systems.
- Zero Trust Security is not a new concept, but it has gained popularity in recent years as organizations have realized the importance of securing their APIs and data.
- The talk also highlighted the importance of having a centralized management system for security and visibility across all systems and data.
