Advanced API Security for multi-gateway projects
Apigee Advanced API Security can now centrally manage and govern the security posture of your APIs across multiple Apigee projects, environments, and gateways. This enhancement leverages API hub to provide a single, unified view of your API security, helping you to identify risks and enforce standards consistently across your entire organization.
This enhancement introduces the following key capabilities:
- Unified risk assessment: view and manage security scores for all your APIs in a centralized dashboard, regardless of which project, environment, or gateway they are deployed in.
- Customizable security profiles: create and manage custom security profiles and apply them consistently across your multi-gateway landscape.
Supported gateways:
- Apigee X
- Apigee hybrid
- Apigee Edge Public Cloud
To enable this feature, navigate to the Add-on management page in API hub and enable the Apigee Advanced API Security add-on.
Advanced API Security currently has limited support for VPC Service Controls (VPC-SC). To avoid potential feature limitations, we recommend enabling this add-on for API hub instances associated with Apigee organizations that don't have VPC-SC enabled.
For more information, see Advanced API Security for multiple Apigee organizations and gateways.
