Industry-Leading Solutions for API Management


By exposing data and application functionality to external apps on mobile devices, consoles, smart TVs and affiliate Web sites, via APIs, an organization can remake its business into an extensible platform. However, exposing data and services as APIs creates a number of serious security, management and performance concerns.

These solutions are built upon the Layer 7 API Management Suite, which includes a robust API Proxy, a developer Portal, a Service Manager and support for OAuth. The API Management Suite addresses API security, version management, SLA enforcement, visibility and developer on-boarding requirements. Deliverable on-premise or from the Cloud, the Layer 7 API Management Suite is certified to support the most rigorous security needs including PCI, FIPS, STIG and OAuth.
