Entitlement Management for APIs & Microservices
The NextLabs platform can be easily extended to secure data when exposed through APIs and microservices. The rapid adoption of cloud technologies and architectures has increased the importance of protecting sensitive data through these channels.
By integrating with several leading API gateways, NextLabs enables you to enforce granular, policy-based access controls for APIs. Additionally, you can increase your ROI by leveraging any prior investments in identity and access management (IAM) tools or the NextLabs platform.
Similarly, the NextLabs platform can itself be used as a microservice. For instance, NextLabs’ CloudAz and SkyDRM services can each be utilized within larger, more complex applications – providing you the same granular access controls made available for APIs – with the added benefit of being able to scale seamlessly in lockstep with your evolving IT requirements.
