API provisioning
API Security – Seamless ways to secure API providers

▪ While API providers offer ways to set

connectivity credentials to access backend
resources (Internet, Cloud Integration,
Open Connectors etc.), a prominent use
case is to set connectivity to on-premise
systems with end-to-end SSO
▪ Beyond the API providers, we provide
ready-to-deploy policy templates to
connect to SAP systems like SAP
S/4HANA Cloud and SAP SuccessFactors
that directly leverage BTP destinations and
all its supported authentication types
(SAML, OAuthSAMLBearer, certificates
etc.)
