CLOUDFLARE UNVEILS API GATEWAY, INCREASES SECURITY FOR DEVICES & SYSTEMS

KUALA LUMPUR, March 17 (Bernama) -- Cloudflare Inc, the security, performance, and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, has announced the Cloudflare API Gateway, providing businesses a simple, fast, and effective way to protect and control all of their APIs (application programming interfaces).

According to a statement, Cloudflare API Gateway will simplify the process of identifying, securing, and managing APIs of any protocol on one of the world’s largest and most interconnected networks.

“APIs were never built with security in mind. Yet, today APIs are involved in nearly every app a consumer or employee touches, often carrying our sensitive personal data,” said chief executive officer and co-founder of Cloudflare, Matthew Prince.

“We’ve built next generation AI and Machine Learning engines that take API management to a new level, automatically detecting new APIs and preventing threats. 

“As with other Cloudflare products, API Gateway will do all of this at a fraction of the cost and without the latency introduced by legacy solutions.”

The world runs on APIs— phones, smartwatches, banking systems, and shopping sites all rely on APIs to communicate—and API traffic generates more than 50 per cent of all the HTTP requests on Cloudflare’s global network.

With this explosive growth, it has become more critical than ever for businesses of all sizes to have robust protection and a clear view of their API suite.

With Cloudflare API Gateway, businesses will be able to identify and stop API abuse; automatically detect unmanaged APIs; create and manage APIs directly with Cloudflare Workers; offload authentication and authorisation; and, seamlessly route, log, and measure API requests.
