Traceable AI, the leading API security firm, has released the first-ever API Security Reference Architecture for Zero Trust, aiding security leaders in incorporating API security into their Zero Trust Security initiatives. Zero Trust, a cybersecurity framework that concentrates on continuous verification and decreases the attack surface, has been helpful in reinforcing security for enterprises and even the US Government. However, earlier Zero Trust approaches centered on network-level controls and identity access management, disregarding the application layer, particularly APIs. Traceable’s API Security Reference Architecture is associated with the NIST Zero Trust Architecture framework, making it convenient for companies implementing Zero Trust for their APIs to depend on.
Traceable’s API Security Reference Architecture is built on a new approach to secure APIs, using Zero Trust principles explicitly tailored to APIs, ensuring the protection of digital assets and easing the risk of data breaches. Dr. Chase Cunningham, a renowned strategist on Zero Trust and cybersecurity, stated: By combining Zero Trust strategic concepts with API-specific security measures, Traceable can help organisations protect their digital assets effectively. Last year, Traceable showed commitment to integrating Zero Trust methodologies into API Security and has since become a valuable partner to many enterprises. Consequently, Traceable has extended its expertise by collaborating with Zero Trust creator, John Kindervag, and Dr. Zero Trust, Chase Cunningham, and has introduced the Zero Trust API Access solution in cooperation with the reference architecture. Traceable is striving to advance API security and help companies achieve complete API security in a Zero Trust world.
