Secure your applications and the APIs that drive them

Digital transformation accelerated the modern application landscape. Organizations now rely on digital assets to drive innovation and help reach customers around the world faster than ever. It's increasingly important to secure these business-critical applications and the application programming interfaces (APIs) that support them. 

Application and API security requires creativity and rigor. Every code commit introduces risk, such as a new or changed endpoint (API), the exposure of sensitive data (PII, PCI, PHI), new open-source dependencies, new technologies (DB, authentication framework), business logic, data flows, and more. 

These applications and APIs require high availability and performance yet demand the highest level of security and observability. They are vital for the organization's integrity and resilience against cyber threats.

How 2023 Advancements in Generative AI should Immediately Sound the Alarm for API Security

Rapid advancements in generative AI come with increasing API security concerns. Generative AI bolsters API security while also presenting new and increased risk. OpenAI's DevDay in 2023 marked a significant leap, with customized GPTs now capable of large-scale API interactions, urging the need for robust API security strategies. The article stresses the necessity of a proactive and adaptive defense against AI-driven threats to API security.

Application security

Integrating secure development practices into the software development lifecycle is vital to building resilient applications, but many organizations struggle to implement and enforce secure coding practices and standards, identify and prioritize vulnerabilities in the software supply chain, and manage the security risks associated with third-party and open-source software components. 

Traditionally, security assessments and testing are conducted at the end of the development process or after the application is deployed. To successfully secure applications, organizations must "shift left," incorporating security measures — including secure coding, threat modeling, security testing, and code reviews — in the initial phases of the software development lifecycle (SDLC). 

API security

Applications rely heavily on APIs for data exchange, functionality and integration, creating a complex and interconnected ecosystem. APIs give access to large amounts of data, yet many organizations fail to properly secure that data and lack a clear understanding of their API landscape. 

Organizations need full visibility and clarity into the inventory, volume and traffic of APIs to understand the data risks protect and improve API security posture. 

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF on Regional and App Connect Deployment Mode

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF deployed on Regional Edge and App Connect Deployment mode. This deployment model offers an optimal solution for scenarios where backend applications are inaccessible from the internet, lacking a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) or Public IP. In this case Customer Edge sites can be deployed to connect these "private" customer sites to the XC Global Network via IPSEC tunnels opened from Distributed Cloud Customer Edges to the closes two REs sites. Distributed Cloud WAF is deployed on the Regional Edges, where the services are being advertised to the Internet through anycast IPs. Customer Edges are being deployed on the customer sites and connect to the closest RE and traffic will be inspected by the WAAF security policy. The traffic will then be forwarded across the distributed cloud global network towards an egress Regional Edge and then over an IPSEC tunnel to the Customer edge site where it will be forwarded to the backend applications as pure IP-based traffic.

F5 Distributed Cloud WAF on Regional Deployment Mode

This WWT Lab will provide a hand on experience of F5 Distributed Cloud WAF deployed on Regional Edge in deployment mode. This deployment mode is better suited when protecting backend applications which are already public accessible from the internet via FQDN or Public IP. F5 Distributed Cloud WAF is deployed on the Regional Edges, where the services are being advertised to the internet through anycast IPs. The end users will connect to their closest Regional Edge and the traffic will be inspected by the WAF security policy. The traffic will then be forwarded across the XC Global Network towards an egress Regional Edge and then towards the customer site as regular internet traffic. The customer will filter the traffic, only allowing traffic forwarded by the XC platform.

Practical API Security: Discover, Defend, and Secure APIs from Code to Runtime

This lab provides a hands-on introduction to API security and visibility using F5 Distributed Cloud Web App and API Protection (XC WAAP). As APIs continue to grow in number and complexity, they have become a primary target for cyberattacks. This lab explores how to discover, document, and secure both known and shadow APIs using the platform's API Discovery, Schema Validation, and Security Dashboards. Participants will learn how to: Send traffic through the F5 HTTPS Load Balancer to trigger API Discovery and the API Crawler Automatically generate and maintain an API inventory, including undocumented shadow APIs Apply OpenAPI Schema Validation to enforce API conformity and detect anomalies Gain deep insights through advanced API Security Dashboards, including threat levels, sensitive data exposure, authentication status, and risk scores Understand the importance of integrating DevSecOps practices by leveraging IaC and GitHub Actions for API protection deployment By the end of this lab, users will gain critical visibility into their API ecosystem, identify vulnerabilities, and take actionable steps to secure both documented and undocumented APIs—helping to bring shadow APIs into the light.
