Key Benefits
Securing Government Data and Digital Infrastructure
Government APIs often handle highly sensitive data such as personally identifiable information (PII), financial details, and national security records. Exposing this data can lead to identity theft, data breaches, and even national security risks.
API Discovery & Cataloguing — Rakuten SixthSense provides real-time discovery and monitoring to ensure up-to-date visibility into the API landscape. Benefits include a complete inventory of APIs, real-time performance insights, and quick issue resolution, helping protect sensitive government data from exposure.
Enhancing API Authorization Controls
Poor authentication and authorization measures lead to unauthorized access, resulting in data breaches and the loss of highly sensitive information. Ensuring that only authorized users and applications can access government APIs is essential to protecting sensitive assets.
Security Posture Assessment — Regular security posture assessments help identify vulnerabilities across all API endpoints. This includes compliance with security best practices and identifying weaknesses in authorization protocols. By continuously improving authorization measures, government agencies can reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
Mitigating Chronic API Breaches
APIs integrate multiple services, but they can also introduce significant security risks. Third-party API vulnerabilities often lead to data breaches that compromise entire systems and cause widespread security issues within government organizations.
Detect Sensitive Data Exposure — Rakuten SixthSense provides continuous monitoring to identify and mitigate risks related to unauthorized access or the leakage of sensitive information. This solution ensures real-time visibility, quick breach detection, and robust protection of sensitive government data, helping prevent chronic security breaches.
