Overview In a modern AWS environment, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are the connective tissue for microservices and data access. However, not all APIs are meant for public consumption. A common and significant security risk is the exposure of internal-facing APIs to the public internet, creating an unnecessary attack surface. The ideal configuration for these internal […]

Overview In a modern AWS architecture, Amazon API Gateway often acts as the primary entry point for applications, managing access to backend services and business logic. As organizations scale and adopt multi-account strategies for different environments or business units, enabling cross-account API access becomes a necessity. However, misconfiguring these access controls is a common and […]

Overview Amazon API Gateway is the front door to modern applications on AWS, managing traffic for backend services. However, by default, its monitoring capabilities provide a high-level, aggregated view of performance. This creates significant observability gaps, where the health of the overall API can mask critical failures or security threats occurring on specific endpoints. Without […]

Overview In the AWS ecosystem, Amazon API Gateway acts as the front door for applications, managing traffic between end-users and backend services like AWS Lambda or Amazon EC2. By default, these gateways are publicly accessible, creating a significant attack surface that can be targeted by malicious actors. Leaving this front door open to the entire […]

Overview In modern AWS architectures, Amazon API Gateway is the central entry point for accessing backend services, data, and business logic. While teams often focus on securing client-facing connections, the security of the “back door”—the connection between API Gateway and its integration endpoints—is just as critical for service reliability and integrity. A primary method for […]
