The Evolving Threat Landscape
Enterprise APIs are the primary target for malicious actors. Relying solely on standard JWT authentication is no longer sufficient. We must implement defense-in-depth strategies.
Advanced Rate Limiting
We implemented a sliding window rate limiter backed by Redis, combined with fingerprinting techniques to prevent distributed attacks that try to bypass standard IP-based limitations.
