Your API Gateway Is Not an API Security Solution 🛑

Confusing API management with API security is a costly and dangerous mistake.

An API Gateway is a traffic controller, but it has critical blind spots:

⚠️ It authenticates users but doesn't analyze their behavior for malicious intent.

⚠️ It routes traffic but doesn't inspect payloads for complex attacks.

⚠️ It manages access but can't detect business logic abuse.

This 8-second animation clearly explains the difference in roles and why you need a dedicated security solution to protect what your Gateway manages.
