Zero Trust Security for your APIs
summary
Zero Trust is applied to APIs by enforcing authentication at every gateway rather than a single perimeter, with four pillars: never trust, always verify, least privilege, full inspection/visibility and centralized management. The demo applies a JWT validation policy on an API gateway using an HMAC 256-bit secret, generates a static token via jwt.io and validates calls in Postman; the policy blocks requests without a valid token and the demo runs without errors. Cites 41% of organizations facing API threats.
