The accompanying architectural diagram provides a visual representation of the traffic flow when Wallarm Policy is connected to APIs on the MuleSoft Anypoint platform.
This integrated solution involves deploying the Wallarm node and incorporating policies into the designated platform. This setup directs traffic to the external Wallarm node for analysis and protection against potential threats. Referred to as the Wallarm connector, this component serves as a critical link between various platforms like Azion Edge, Akamai Edge, MuleSoft, Google Apigee, AWS Lambda, and the external Wallarm node. Through this approach, we ensure seamless integration, secure traffic analysis, risk mitigation, and an overall enhancement of platform security.
To secure APIs on the MuleSoft Anypoint platform using Wallarm policy, follow these steps:
1
Deploy a Wallarm node using one of the available deployment options.
2
Obtain the Wallarm policy and upload it to MuleSoft Exchange.
3
Attach the Wallarm policy to your API.
Attackers don’t care that you watch them, they only care if you stop them. That’s why Wallarm is the preferred choice for Security teams seeking unparalleled protection and prevention capabilities.
