API Security Challenges and How to Address Them
summary
Claim: an API gateway handles authentication and authorization for REST APIs so backends need no custom security code. The talk shows gateways accept username/password, x.509, Kerberos, OAuth/JWT and custom API keys, mediate between inbound and outbound security, and expose one backend as multiple endpoints with different auth. Gateways enforce complex authorization rules at runtime, are configured not coded, and cut deployment time and operational effort by centralizing security and identity translation.
