Panoptica makes it easy to secure your containers, APIs, and serverless functions, and manage software bills of materials. It analyzes internal and external APIs and assigns risk scores. Your policies govern which API calls the gateway permits or disables. New cloud-native architectures allow teams to develop and deploy software more quickly, keeping up with the pace of today’s market. But this speed can come with a cost—security. Panoptica closes the gaps by integrating automated, policy-based security and visibility into every stage of the software-development lifecycle. Decentralized cloud-native architectures have significantly increased the number of attack surfaces. At the same time, changes in the computing landscape have raised the risk of catastrophic security breaches. Here are some of the reasons why comprehensive security is more important than ever before. You need a platform that protects the entire application lifecycle—from development to runtime.
