Service Catalog: Shine a Light on Shadow APIs in Your IT Infrastructure

Konnect Service Catalog is introduced as a comprehensive tool designed to help organizations manage and secure their API and service ecosystems, addressing the growing complexity and security risks associated with "Shadow APIs." These unmanaged APIs pose significant threats as potential attack vectors, especially if lacking proper authentication and authorization. With API-related breaches on the rise and increased deployment complexity, the service catalog serves as a centralized repository for all services and APIs, offering benefits like enhanced visibility, security enforcement, and developer productivity. The catalog integrates with systems like Kong Gateway and Traceable AI to identify and manage APIs, while also boosting developer efficiency by aggregating information and offering a 360-degree view of services. Upcoming features like Scorecards aim to assist Platform Teams in enforcing policy compliance and industry best practices across the organization. The Konnect Service Catalog is currently available in public beta, promising a more secure and controlled API infrastructure.
