With the increased use of APIs to connect applications and services, securing these interfaces has become essential.

Cloudflare’s API Shield provides an additional layer of security to protect sensitive data transmitted through APIs. Here are some of the features of API Shield:

Authentication and Authorization : API Shield sweden mobile database the implementation of mutual authentication (mTLS) and JWT tokens (JSON Web Tokens) to ensure that only authorized clients can access APIs. This helps prevent unauthorized access and exposure of sensitive data.
Schema Validation : API Shield can validate the schemas of API requests and responses to ensure that only expected data is processed and returned. This helps prevent accidental data leaks and attacks based on malicious payloads.
Rate Limiting : Limiting the number of requests that can be made to an API in a given period helps prevent brute force and scraping attacks, where an attacker repeatedly tries to access sensitive information.
DDoS Protection : Like WAF, API Shield also offers protection against DDoS attacks, ensuring that your APIs remain operational and secure even under attack.
Bot Management : API Shield identifies and blocks malicious bots that may attempt to exploit your APIs to steal sensitive data. This is crucial to protect against automated attacks that target personal and financial information.
