Introducing JWT validation for your API is crucial to prevent security breaches and safeguard against potential threats. API security has become a top priority for development teams, and JWTs provide an efficient way to add security to API endpoints by validating the client's identity and permissions. ngrok's developer-defined API gateway introduces support for JWT validation, which offers several benefits including enhanced security posture, a stateless architecture, and secure authentication under your control. By integrating JWT infrastructure with ngrok, developers can strengthen the security of their APIs by offloading API protection to ngrok's global network.
