The Neo-Security Architecture

A blueprint for securing and asserting legitimate access to APIs and digital services.

The efficiency and security of digital services play an essential role in business success. With the rise of the API economy, organizations face a growing challenge: broken or hacked APIs are behind a dramatic rise in data breaches, while security architecture must keep pace with expanding, changing businesses.

This whitepaper introduces the Neo-Security Architecture, a centralized, standards-based blueprint for securing APIs, services, and applications. You'll learn the two core principles behind it, and how its three pillars (Identity Management, API Management, and Entitlement Management) work together to keep your systems secure and scalable, whatever the size of your organization.
