API Security

API Security & Management

We help agencies design and implement secure API gateways with authentication, rate limiting, encryption, and comprehensive monitoring for government workloads—meeting FedRAMP, StateRAMP, and FISMA requirements.

Our Capabilities

API Security Capabilities

Comprehensive API security services for government workloads

API Authentication & Authorization

We help agencies implement OAuth 2.0, SAML, API keys, mutual TLS, and certificate-based authentication with role-based access controls (RBAC) and attribute-based access controls (ABAC).

OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect
SAML 2.0 federation
Mutual TLS (mTLS)
API key management

API Gateway & Management

We design and implement API gateways that provide centralized authentication, rate limiting, request validation, and traffic management for government APIs.

Rate limiting & throttling
Request/response validation
API versioning
Traffic management

API Threat Protection

We implement web application firewalls (WAF), DDoS protection, SQL injection prevention, and OWASP API Security Top 10 mitigations for all government APIs.

WAF integration
DDoS mitigation
Injection attack prevention
Bot detection

API Monitoring & Analytics

We build comprehensive monitoring dashboards that track API performance, security events, error rates, and usage patterns with real-time alerting.

Real-time monitoring
Security event alerting
Performance analytics
Usage tracking

Authentication

Authentication Methods

We implement industry-standard authentication protocols for government APIs

OAuth 2.0 & OpenID Connect

Authorization Code Flow
Secure authentication for web applications with user consent
Client Credentials Flow
Machine-to-machine authentication for backend services
JWT Bearer Tokens
Stateless authentication using JSON Web Tokens

SAML 2.0 Federation

Identity Provider (IdP) Integration
Connect with agency Active Directory or identity providers
Single Sign-On (SSO)
Unified authentication across multiple applications
Attribute-Based Access Control
Fine-grained authorization using SAML attributes

API Key Management

API Key Generation & Rotation
Automated key generation with scheduled rotation policies
Key Scoping & Permissions
Limit API keys to specific endpoints and operations
Key Revocation
Immediate key revocation for compromised credentials

Certificate-Based Authentication

Mutual TLS (mTLS)
Two-way certificate authentication for high-security APIs
PKI Integration
Integration with agency public key infrastructure
Certificate Validation
Real-time certificate revocation checking (OCSP/CRL)

Protection

API Threat Protection

Comprehensive protection against API vulnerabilities and attacks

OWASP API Security Top 10
Protection against broken object level authorization, broken authentication, excessive data exposure, and other API vulnerabilities
SQL Injection Prevention
Input validation and parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Protection
Output encoding and content security policies to prevent XSS attacks
DDoS & Rate Limiting
Distributed denial-of-service protection and intelligent rate limiting to prevent abuse

Monitoring

Monitoring & Analytics

Real-time visibility into API performance and security

Real-Time Security Monitoring
Continuous monitoring of API traffic for suspicious patterns, anomalies, and security events
Performance Metrics
Track API response times, throughput, error rates, and availability with SLA monitoring
Audit Logging
Comprehensive logging of all API calls, authentication events, and data access for compliance
Alerting & Incident Response
Automated alerting for security events, performance degradation, and system failures

Security First

Compliance & Security

All API security implementations meet government compliance requirements

FedRAMP & StateRAMP Compliance
All API security controls follow FedRAMP and StateRAMP requirements including AC, AU, IA, and SC control families
FISMA Compliance
API security implementations meet FISMA Low, Moderate, and High security requirements
NIST 800-53 Controls
Comprehensive implementation of NIST 800-53 security controls for API protection
ATO Documentation Support
Security controls documentation, API security assessments, and data flow diagrams for ATO packages
