API Management

What is API Management?

API management refers to the process of creating, publishing, and managing API connections between applications and systems across the enterprise. It allows organisations a scalable, unified platform to share and socialise their API configurations while controlling access, collecting and analysing usage statistics, and enforcing associated security policies.

Why API Management

When a company goes through digital transformation, it starts creating an increasing number of APIs that need to be managed and secured. An API management platform provides a uniform and scalable way to register APIs, create security and access policies and track the feasibility of introducing new services.
