A Maturity Model to Secure Mulesoft Environments

Securing Mulesoft environments requires new thinking. As the prevalence of application programming interfaces (APIs) increases, and the exponential increase in API calls grows, attackers are taking notice. The threat landscape has changed. Attackers have shifted their primary focus from web applications to APIs and most security teams haven’t adapted. Since APIs are inherently more exposed than traditional web apps, they are low-hanging fruit for attackers, and security teams must rebalance their efforts to ensure defenses are strongest where attacks are actually occurring. The webinar will cover:

‍

1. Introduction to API Security & Mulesoft Environments
2. Cross-referenced API Security Best Practices
3. A Security Maturity Model for Mulesoft Environments
4. 3 Ways to Close Remaining Security Gaps
5. “Live” API Security Demo
6. Q&A

Mulesoft customers typically have higher call volumes, with more complexity, and derive more business value from APIs than the average software development organization. From the attacker's perspective, volume, complexity, and value are exactly what they’re looking to exploit. Hence, Mulesoft customers must prioritize building up defenses and hardening their APIs based on what attackers are actually doing today.

But how should you protect your APIs and how do you know if you’ve done enough? Whether you want to be cutting-edge or simply covering your bases, this webinar will present a comprehensive baseline of best practices by cross-referencing:

‍

• The top threats from industry groups such as OWASP and SANS
• Best practices from the leading analyst firms
• Real-world threat data on API attacks 
• Mulesoft’s security guidance
  
  

After establishing best practices, the webinar will present a maturity model for enhancing API security that focuses first on Mulesoft’s native security features, and then on three different approaches to address the remaining security gaps: Open source software, traditional AppSec tools and what to look for in dedicated API security tooling.
