Verify API Discovery and cataloguing

Deploying the Controller and Sensors successfully in the environment initiates the API Discovery capabilities of AppSentinels Security Platform. API Discovery is continuous, and new APIs and parameters are discovered until the application is protected.

In this phase:

• APIs are cataloged and categorized by their characteristics (Privileged, Sensitive, Shadow, Public, and so on).
• APIs are assessed for risks based on their characteristics, and a Risk Score is assigned to them.
• AppSentinels Training Engine analyzes the APIs to learn their context, parameters, and API sequences and understand application users' activities and roles.

See API Catalogue for the attributes by which the APIs are cataloged.

API Discovery insights are available in the Visibility Report. See Reports for more details.

Objectives

Some of the key objectives of analyzing the API catalogue are:

• Get complete visibility into the APIs of the application protected by the platform
• Identify important and high-risk-posing APIs and flag them for fixes.
