API Governance Alerts

The API Governance Alerts in AppSentinels are critical for monitoring API behavior and enforcing security policies. These alerts notify security teams about policy violations, unauthorized exposure, and runtime risks associated with APIs.

Use Cases for Governance Alerts

Configuration of Alerts

Governance Alerts can be managed under Settings → Vulnerability → Governance. Each alert can be toggled ON or OFF and assigned a severity level such as Critical, Major, Minor, or Info. The interface allows in-place editing of these configurations.

Governance Alerts Configuration

Viewing Governance Alerts

Once governance controls are active, violations are reported under Vulnerabilities → Events categorized as Governance. These events can be filtered easily using the Event Filters.

Filtering Governance Events

To analyze only governance-related events, navigate to the filter section and set the category to "Governance". Additional filters like Endpoint, Severity, Method, and Date Range can be applied for fine-grained analysis.

Summary Dashboard

The Vulnerability Summary panel gives a high-level view of governance and other security issues. It includes severity distribution, event status, and detection engines like Governance, Passive Scan, and Runtime Scan.
