Signal Sciences Announces Support for Kong Enterprise API Platform
Summary
Its solutions extend support management and authentication capabilities to serverless functions, including Lambda, Azure and OpenWhisk.By joining forces, Signal Sciences and Kong are bringing enterprises the ability to natively secure their apps and APIs.“As today’s modern enterprise becomes increasingly complex, involving multi and hybrid cloud, containerized, serverless and monolith infrastructures, one security solution that unifies application attack data in a single pane of glass, easily viewable by all teams and business units, from security and development to operations, is not just a nice to have, it’s a have to have,” added Lackey.“Joining forces, Kong and Signal Sciences are bringing a solution to market that is addressing a long-time challenge,” said Cooper Marcus, director of ecosystem at Kong Inc. “Up until now, WAFs have required additional infrastructure resources and hops in the network topology, requiring deployment in front of or behind API gateways, with especially little insight into serverless functions.Based in Culver City, California, Signal Sciences customers include Under Armour, Etsy, Adobe, Datadog, WeWork and more.
