Securing Critical Manufacturing Systems with API Protection
Manufacturing companies use APIs to automate processes, manage data, and connect critical systems. However, these APIs are increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats, which can disrupt operations and compromise sensitive business information. Rakuten SixthSense’s API Security platform ensures real-time protection against potential breaches, helping manufacturers maintain operational continuity and secure their digital infrastructure.
By implementing robust API protection measures, manufacturers can reduce downtime, prevent unauthorized access, and protect the integrity of their interconnected systems, ensuring the security of their production processes.
Key Benefits
Streamlining Tool Fragmentation
The reliance on a fragmented set of tools increases complexity and reduces efficiency. Inconsistent security measures across systems expose manufacturers to higher risks of breaches, operational disruptions, and inefficiencies.
Rakuten SixthSense provides a Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment across the entire microservice and API landscape. This ensures consistent security measures and effective mitigation strategies, reducing the likelihood of incidents and improving operational security.
Addressing High Compliance Costs
Compliance with international data privacy regulations such as GDPR poses significant financial burdens on manufacturers. High compliance costs strain resources, while non-compliance risks heavy fines and legal penalties.
Ensure Regulatory Compliance by using Rakuten SixthSense to detect sensitive or PII exposure in real-time across API ecosystems. Continuous monitoring helps manufacturing organizations adhere to local and international regulations, reducing fines and maintaining the company’s credibility in global markets.
Eliminating API Visibility Gaps
Limited visibility into the API landscape increases the risk of undetected security vulnerabilities and delayed incident responses. This lack of oversight results in increased exposure to security risks and inefficiencies across the manufacturing process.
Improve visibility with Real-Time Monitoring into the security posture of all API systems. This includes automatic detection of vulnerabilities and anomalies, allowing security teams to act swiftly to prevent potential breaches, ensuring an optimized and secure manufacturing environment.
