API Governance and Security in the Modern Enterprise

While modern applications are getting more distributed and interconnected, API calls are now representing the majority of requests on the Internet. To manage, expose, and protect APIs involves several teams and requires different technologies.

API gateway and security solutions can be deployed either centrally or distributed, inside or outside a Kubernetes cluster, and managed in-house or consumed as a service.

However, using different deployment models within the same organisation complicates how APIs are managed and governed, and requires new skills if deployed as Kubernetes.

In this session, you will learn about:

• The API ecosystem and protocols used
• The differences between API management, gateway, and security
• Various API gateway and security architectures
