API & Application Security Solutions
APIs and applications are the backbone of digital ecosystems but are increasingly targeted by attackers. At CyberKeon, we ensure your applications are secure by integrating advanced security measures at every stage of the development lifecycle—from design and coding to deployment and beyond. Our solutions address vulnerabilities proactively, incorporating secure coding practices, advanced testing methodologies, and runtime protections like Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) and Runtime Application Self-Protection (RASP).
Why It Matters:
APIs and applications are prime targets for cybercriminals. Securing them requires a proactive approach that integrates security into every phase of the development process. Failure to secure APIs and applications can result in data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage. By adopting secure coding practices, conducting thorough vulnerability testing, and implementing runtime protections, organisations can safeguard sensitive data and ensure compliance with industry regulations.
Our Approach
Threat Modelling
Identify potential attack vectors in APIs and applications during the design phase. We consider abuse cases like over-privileged API access and input validation bypasses.
Secure Code Review
Analyse codebases for vulnerabilities such as injection flaws, misconfigurations, and broken authentication using both automated and manual techniques.
Runtime Protections
Implement RASP to provide real-time monitoring and blocking of malicious actions during application runtime. Apply Zero Trust Architecture principles to ensure strict access control.
Development Guidance
Provide secure coding frameworks tailored to your organisation’s technology stack, and offer training to developers on secure API integration and best practices.
Advanced API Security Measures
Implement API-specific controls such as authentication mechanisms (OAuth 2.0, JWT), rate limiting, and abuse prevention. Secure integration with third-party APIs using encryption and validation protocols.
Benefits
Minimise development risks by addressing vulnerabilities during the design and development phase.
Enhance customer trust by securing sensitive application workflows and APIs.
Achieve compliance with frameworks like PCI DSS, CDR, and HIPAA.
Design secure, scalable applications and APIs that grow with your business.
Client Success Story
