Patent ID: 10511574

Abstract:
Embodiments are disclosed for managing interactions between a server application and an external environment while limiting an attack surface of the server application. An example method includes receiving, by communications circuitry of a gateway integration server (GIS) and from a source device in the external environment, a message including an application programming interface (API) call. The example method further includes evaluating, by authentication circuitry of the GIS, whether the API call is authorized. If so, the example method further includes generating, by response circuitry of the GIS, a response to the API call, and transmitting, by the communications circuitry of the GIS and to the source device, the response to the API call. However, if not, the example method includes transmitting, by the communications circuitry of the GIS, an error message to the source device. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.
