Cloudentity adds GraphQL support to its API access control platform for identity and authorization of modern apps
Cloudentity, a leading provider of modern application identity and authorization, released GraphQL support capabilities that secure GraphQL application programming interfaces (APIs). This expanded capability accelerates development; allowing developers to build the API technology best suited for their application and release APIs more securely. It enables centralized policy management and distributed protection against data leakage, API cyberattacks, and broken object vulnerabilities at the edge.
GraphQL adoption continues to double year-over-year within the developer community, and it’s estimated that millions of developers will use GraphQL for projects over the next few years. This widespread adoption is spurred by the user-friendly description of data in APIs that GraphQL provides. While GraphQL APIs accelerate application development, save time and resources, and improve the developer experience, they also create new security risks and challenges for API data leakage.
