API Gateway Key

Service Name: API Gateway

Service Description: API Gateway is a service that enables developers to create, publish, maintain, monitor, and secure APIs at any scale. It acts as a "front door" for applications to access data, business logic, or functionality from backend services.

Service Address: This varies by cloud provider (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, etc.) as many offer API Gateway services.

Validation Type: API Auth

IP Allow list: IP restrictions can be configured at the API Gateway level to limit which IP addresses or ranges can access your APIs.

Secret Access Scope: Grants access to specific API endpoints and resources as defined by the API Gateway configuration. The scope depends on what APIs the key is authorized to access.

Secret Revokement URL: Varies by provider. For example: - AWS: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/apigateway/latest/developerguide/api- gateway-setup-api-key-with-console.html - Azure: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/api-management/api- management-howto-create-subscriptions

Suspicious Activity Investigation Instructions:

Review API Gateway logs for unusual request patterns or volumes
Check for access from unexpected geographic locations or IP addresses
Monitor for unusual API call rates or patterns that differ from normal usage
Look for attempts to access unauthorized endpoints or resources
Examine request headers and parameters for signs of injection attacks or

malicious payloads

Mitigation Instructions:

Immediately revoke the compromised API key through your provider's management console
Generate a new API key with appropriate permissions
Update all legitimate applications to use the new API key
Implement more restrictive access policies (IP restrictions, rate limiting)
Consider implementing additional authentication methods like OAuth 2.0 or JWT
Review and update API Gateway logging and monitoring settings
Implement API request validation to prevent malicious inputs
