Summary<\/strong><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In today\u2019s interconnected digital world, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) play a crucial role in enabling data exchange and service integration across organizations. As their usage expands, APIs are increasingly becoming targets for cyberattacks, especially when they are publicly exposed. Traditional security solutions like firewalls and VPNs struggle to effectively secure APIs, leaving companies vulnerable to breaches that can result in costly data losses and compliance issues.<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/netfoundry.io\/solutions\/zero-trust-apis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NetFoundry\u2019s Zero Trust API solution<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> addresses these challenges by removing APIs from public internet exposure. This innovative approach leverages a software-based overlay network, embedding zero trust principles without relying on traditional security models. This white paper explores the nature of API vulnerabilities, the limitations of current solutions, and how NetFoundry\u2019s solution enables centralized, secure, and high-performance API connectivity. By eliminating the need for VPNs, firewalls, and manual security management, businesses can better protect their API traffic and streamline their security infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d30388a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\"

Yet, as digital demands grow, VPNs present challenges that impede their ability to support the modern security needs of MSPs:<\/span><\/p><h3>\u00a0<\/h3><h3><b>Security Vulnerabilities<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VPNs operate on perimeter-based models, often granting broad network access. This allows lateral movement, increasing exposure to cyber threats. NetFoundry\u2019s AppNets revolutionize this by eliminating the network connection entirely\u2014attackers can&#8217;t exploit what they can\u2019t reach.<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.remote.it\/resources\/top-ten-vpn-struggles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Operational Complexity<\/b><\/a><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Configuring VPNs across multiple clients requires managing IP allow lists, firewall rules, and individual VPN connections. AppNets replace these with <\/span><b>outbound-only, zero-trust microsegmentation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, significantly reducing administrative burden by simplifying connectivity across environments.<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h3><b>Performance Bottlenecks<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VPNs use point-to-point connections that can become bottlenecks, impacting performance and user experience.

The overlay network routes traffic directly from authenticated endpoints to the API, ensuring secure data exchange.<\/span><\/p><hr \/><h3><b>Ziti Architecture<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ziti is an open-source framework, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/openziti.io\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OpenZiti<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that integrates zero trust security directly into the connectivity layer.
