API Data, Meet Cybersecurity
According to Accenture, cybercrime could cost banks an estimated $350 billion in the next five years. Gartner, the world’s leading research and advisory company, estimates that “by 2021, 90% of web-enabled applications will have more surface area for attack in the form of exposed APIs rather than the UI, up from 40% in 2019” and “by 2022, API abuses will move from an infrequent to the most-frequent attack vector, resulting in data breaches for enterprise web applications.”* By nature, APIs expose application logic and sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), which is why they have become a prime target for cybercriminals and why protecting APIs has become increasingly important.
OmniEncrypt
OmniEncrypt uses a Cisco Meraki NGFW at each client site to establish a secure connection to our AWS environment. This connection is secure using strong encryption and authentication methods. Together with the Meraki NGFW OmniEncrypt uses a load balance appliance at the client site to securely route traffic to the core system.
We provide 24/7 monitoring of this solution. Also, there is an additional option for automatic WAN failover to a cellular uplink, this option will allow connectivity to continue when the client’s internet is down.
