Azure API Gateway

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

Azure API Management gateway Azure API Gateway (often referred to as Azure API Management) is a fully managed service by Microsoft Azure that allows developers to create, publish, secure, and analyze APIs in a scalable and reliable environment. Azure API Gateway acts as a central hub through which APIs are exposed, enabling you to manage all your API traffic, monitor performance, enforce security policies, and ensure seamless connectivity between your APIs and backend services.

Azure API Gateway supports various API protocols, including REST, SOAP, and WebSocket, and it integrates seamlessly with other Azure services, such as Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). This integration enables you to create powerful, flexible API architectures that leverage the full capabilities of the Azure cloud. The service also provides advanced features like API versioning, rate limiting, and throttling to help you manage API consumption and maintain consistent performance.

Security is a key focus of Azure API Gateway, offering features such as OAuth 2.0, Azure Active Directory (AAD) integration, and built-in threat protection to ensure that your APIs are secure from unauthorized access and threats. Additionally, Azure API Gateway provides comprehensive analytics and monitoring tools, giving you deep insights into API usage and performance.

As part of its API Catalog Pynt allows seamless integration with Azure API gateway.

By integrating Pynt with Azure API Gateway, you can enhance the discovery, security, and management of your APIs within the Azure ecosystem. Pynt automatically discovers and catalogs your APIs as they are managed through Azure API Gateway, providing real-time security assessments and insights. This integration helps you identify and address vulnerabilities early, maintain compliance, and ensure that your APIs are protected as they scale alongside your applications. With Pynt and Azure API Gateway working together, you can manage and secure your API environment with confidence and efficiency.
