Authentication and Authorization
MuleSoft’s Universal API Management platform provides robust authentication and authorization mechanisms to secure APIs. Organizations can leverage industry-standard protocols, such as OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, or SAML, to authenticate API consumers. This ensures that only trusted and authenticated users can access protected resources.
Additionally, MuleSoft’s platform supports various authorization models, including role-based and attribute-based access control. Organizations can define authorization policies based on user attributes, such as user roles, department, or location. This allows for more granular control over API access, ensuring that users only have access to the resources they need.
Threat Protection and Security Policies
MuleSoft’s Universal API Management platform offers a range of security policies to protect APIs against common threats, such as denial-of-service (DoS) attacks, injection attacks, or data breaches. Organizations can configure policies, such as rate limiting, request validation, payload encryption, or message signing, to safeguard API endpoints.
