SOLUTION://API_GUARD
API Security
Your API endpoints stay functional for legitimate consumers, while automated abuse, flood traffic, and malformed requests are blocked upstream.
Capabilities.
Rate Limiting
One per-IP threshold per site: 10 to 300 requests per 10 seconds. Per-route and per-user limits are not in the current release, and the threshold does not adapt to load.
Schema Validation
Requests that don't match expected parameter types, sizes, or structures are rejected before reaching your application logic.
Abuse Pattern Detection
Enumeration attacks, bulk export attempts, and API endpoint scanning caught by behavioral analysis.
Authentication Header Inspection
Malformed or missing auth tokens identified before your backend wastes cycles processing them.
What it protects against.
- Credential stuffing via login API endpoints
- Data harvesting via enumeration of object IDs
- Resource exhaustion from high-frequency unauthenticated requests
- Scraping your data model from API response patterns
What it doesn't touch.
- Legitimate high-frequency API consumers with recognized patterns
- Webhooks from known services (Stripe, GitHub, etc.), verified by signature
- Your internal API documentation
The goal they can't find.
Defense in the dark. No credit card. No footprint.
