API Management vs. Integration Platform | A Complete Comparison

In this article, we will explore the differences between an API management vs. integration platform, and why understanding them is crucial for businesses seeking to optimize their data and service integrations. Here are the key differences between API management and integration platforms.

Common API Authentication Methods: Use Cases and Benefits

As businesses expand and gain visibility, it’s natural that their API attack surfaces become more exposed — increasing the risk of dangerous data breaches. Protecting cloud communications and securing data in transit should be your organization’s top priority. API authentication mechanisms help ensure that only valid users can access your application's features and services, and these mechanisms should be tailored to fit your specific needs.

Adaptive API Security

In a world filled with threats, how can we deploy APIs with confidence? In this talk, we'll review how biological immune systems solve the problem and dive into how similar concepts drive Salt Security's Kong Plugin. The issue is how to defend APIs against evolving adversaries without knowing in advance what their attacks will be...all while not over-alerting on false positives. Join us to learn about security standards, why AuthZ/AuthN aren't enough, and what we as professionals can do to enhance trust in an increasingly API driven world.

Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) vs VPNs

In today’s modern digital environment, more organizations are relying on remote work than ever before. While this shift has given companies unprecedented flexibility when it comes to deploying their workforce, it has also presented challenges in keeping their devices, operations, and personnel protected, especially in regard to API security. Without proper oversight, attackers can access your organization’s server by exploiting such security vulnerabilities.

OpenLogic by Perforce, In Collaboration With the Eclipse Foundation and Open Source Initiative, Launches the Next State of Open Source Survey

What Is an ESB and Its Alternatives?

An ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) allows you to integrate the disparate applications and services that run your organization. In this article, we take a closer look at what an ESB is and what alternatives exist. By connecting all these components through an ESB, you eliminate the labor-intensive task of custom-coding messy, point-to-point integrations. In this way, an ESB provides a safe, fast, and reliable backbone to your IT infrastructure.

Top Legacy System Migration Strategies

First things first what is a legacy system? A legacy system is any kind of outdated computer system or software used instead of newer, modern systems.
