Enriching Tyk with OSS API traffic visibility & security reporting

The blog post explores the integration of Tyk Open Source Software with APIClarity, an open-source tool designed to provide visibility and security monitoring for APIs. It details a hands-on approach to deploying these tools within a Kubernetes (K8S) environment, using a GitHub repository for easy setup. APIClarity monitors REST API requests, comparing them against OpenAPI Specification (OAS) documentation to identify discrepancies and unusual behaviors. In the absence of existing OAS documentation, APIClarity can generate it by analyzing API traffic. The post highlights the tool's real-time anomaly detection capabilities, its alignment with open-source standards like OAS, and its potential for expanded functionality, particularly in addressing OWASP API security concerns. While advocating for the technology, it advises caution and consideration of factors such as data handling and regulatory compliance before implementation in production environments.
