In this age of software eating the world, implementation speed is of the essence. Organizations that cannot update their systems quickly and effectively will find themselves left behind by more nimble competitors and become easy prey for cybercriminals. A key limiting factor in the deployment of software is that it often must reside in different locations and devices, and in some cases will be serving different use cases. This requires the creation of multiple configurations, which accompany the application code ...
Although APIs are the backbone of our digital economy, their growth means more API sprawl — a distributed infrastructure of APIs with a lack of observability and traceability leading to vulnerabilities, breaches, and attacks. It is time to start thinking about what drives the sprawl and control it ...
