AWS API Gateway

Optimize your API security with Pynt and AWS! Explore our guide on integrating Pynt with AWS API Gateway for advanced API discovery, risk assessment, and gap analysis capabilities.

Amazon API Gateway is a fully managed service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that enables developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. It acts as a front door for applications to access data, business logic, or functionality from your backend services, whether they are running on AWS, on-premises, or in other clouds. AWS API Gateway supports RESTful APIs, WebSocket APIs, and HTTP APIs, offering flexible and efficient ways to build and manage APIs.

One of the key benefits of AWS API Gateway is its ability to handle all the tasks associated with accepting and processing up to hundreds of thousands of concurrent API calls, including traffic management, authorization and access control, monitoring, and API version management. This allows developers to focus on writing the code for their applications, while AWS API Gateway takes care of the heavy lifting involved in managing the APIs.

AWS API Gateway integrates seamlessly with other AWS services, such as AWS Lambda, Amazon EC2, and Amazon S3, allowing you to create APIs that leverage the full power of the AWS cloud. It also offers built-in security features, such as AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), API keys, and AWS WAF (Web Application Firewall), ensuring that your APIs are secure and protected from threats.

As part of its API Catalog, Pynt allows seamless integration with Amazon API gateway. By integrating Pynt with AWS API Gateway, you can further enhance the discovery, monitoring, and security of your APIs. Pynt automatically discovers and catalogs your APIs as they are managed through AWS API Gateway, providing real-time security assessments and insights. This integration helps you maintain a secure and well-managed API environment, ensuring that your APIs are fully protected as they scale with your applications.
