summary
Summarizes 30 principles across four categories that prioritize business-aligned goals over chasing specific security tech, claiming APIs should be a single point of control to minimize exposure. Recommends completing authentication in the DMZ enforcement layer, keeping gateways free of general-purpose business runtimes, placing gateways near back ends, using both internal and external gateways, enforcing rate limits, logging and analytics, automating policy and security testing, retiring old API versions, and validating expected request/response shapes.
