Apigee Sense from Google (acquired in late 2016) protects APIs from unwanted request traffic, including attacks from malicious clients. Apigee Sense analyzes API request traffic, identifying patterns that might represent unwanted requests.
Using this analysis, the user can identify clients making unwanted requests, then take action to allow, block, or flag those requests.
With Apigee Sense, users can protect APIs from request patterns that include:
- Automated behavior that blends with human behavior
- Persistent attempts from the same IP
- Unusual error rates
- Suspicious client requests
- Data crawling
- Key harvesting
- Activity bursts
- Geographical patterns
