Internal API security and governance
Outstanding governance and security
Everything you need for an effective API-first strategy
Governance and security are the cornerstones of a successful API-first approach. They allow you to build a secure, scalable and flexible business across multiple regions with multiple teams.
Tyk provides you with the right mechanisms for innovation. Our powerful capabilities mean you can focus on the business logic of what you need your applications to do, not how you’re going to make them do it.
We do the legwork so that your API programs can shine. With Tyk, you can ensure that your APIs are part of an effective, competitive strategy that supports you to achieve your goals.
API governance involves policies, regulations, best practices, standards… and Tyk delivers it all. We help ensure that people have the right capabilities, without risking anything getting broken by mistake. With Tyk, people can do the right things, better.
Using Tyk’s API management platform delivers on the security front as well. We provide everything you need, so that you can focus on rapid API product development, scaling up, down and horizontally as your business needs demand.
We simplify governance and security, without making you re-architect your stack.
Agility, simplicity and scalability
Easily manage an omni-channel experience
Tyk handles multi-region and multi-cloud requirements and different architectural styles without adding another system on top of your stack. We help you become more efficient, not more bloated.
Dynamic, comprehensive capabilities
Tyk is hugely flexible, because organisations don’t stand still. Components change, teams grow and compliance regulations spring up. Tyk provides dynamic, comprehensive governance capabilities that support an API-first approach now and in the future.
The ideal foundations for growth
You need a governance strategy to get the best out of your APIs. Done right, effective API governance can be the driving factor behind the success of your API-first business. It can deliver stability, security and scalability – the perfect foundation upon which to build.
Security made simple
Securing internal APIs is critical. But the right security solution can deliver so much more than that. Tyk is that solution.
With Tyk’s full lifecycle API management platform, you don’t need to fret about building in security for every API and every microservice – it’s already there. We update our security elements continuously, so that they filter from your API management layer to every part of your stack.
The result? An incredibly agile solution that simplifies security, either straight out of the box or through custom requirements – whatever makes most sense for your business.
