Today we kick off a video series called API Security With A Pinch Of Salt where we dig deep into API security.  In this first episode, Adam, Chris and Ran tackle the topic of using API gateways for security.

Read about the top API security challenges and how to protect APIs in real-world environments.

While the primary use case for an API gateway is management, many of them have security features like authentication, authorization, encryption and rate limiting. Given this we often get asked by customers with API gateways – why do I need anything else?

In this episode we answer that question and more. We hope you enjoy.
