Salesforce today announced the general availability of MuleSoft’s Anypoint Flex Gateway Policy Development Kit (PDK), which enables developers to streamline the creation of bespoke API security rules, accelerate the delivery of API protection, and establish flexible, effective policies.
IT leaders indicate that API and API-related solutions currently account for 33% of their income, with the potential to reduce operating expenses by 35%. APIs generate money in various ways, including access fees, usage-based pricing, premium features, and ecosystem growth. However, as the volume and usefulness of APIs grow, so does the number of API breaches.
Anypoint Flex Gateway is a fast, lightweight, and distributed API gateway designed to protect and secure any API, no matter where it’s installed.
Anypoint Flex Gateway provides enterprise security and manageability across any environment while delivering the performance required for the most demanding applications through integration with DevOps and CI/CD workflows.
Streamline Development of Custom Policies
by abstracting the technical intricacies of the underlying SDK and offering tools for developers to implement custom API security policies that meet their specific business needs.
Generate Faster Delivery of API Protection
by automating key stages that developers currently perform manually, offering documentation and samples to accelerate custom policy development, and supporting common Integrated Development Environments (IDEs).
The kit also includes a new option for testing policies locally during development. Developers may use the same technology to manage APIs from a centralized control plane, using both out-of-the-box and custom policies.
Create Flexible Security Policies and AI-ready
By assisting developers in expanding the out-of-the-box security policies that come with Anypoint Flex Gateway to address specific use cases. As AI endeavors require increased data protection, developers may quickly create policies to detect and secure sensitive data supplied to AI LLM models via APIs.
The Anypoint Flex Gateway is an ultrafast API Gateway that provides accurate API control to the most demanding applications. With Flex Gateway PDK, we expanded capability to enable developers and partners to construct robust custom rules to meet their specific API security requirements, providing both protection and control.” – Gerry Egan, VP of Product Management.
