Security teams, we hear you. Today we release a few well-chosen JWT-based detections into our core ruleset for more effective API security. Some of the core detections available to our customers are: • JWT Algorithm Detections

By flagging and rejecting tokens that use the 'none' algorithm, organizations can safeguard against attacks that exploit this vulnerability, reinforcing the security of their API endpoints. • JWT Expiration Time-based Detections

These time-based checks collectively mitigate risks associated with token misuse, playing an essential role in maintaining a secure and reliable API ecosystem by enforcing strict temporal guidelines on token usage. • Non-conforming Detections

If a token requests access beyond what its encoded permissions allow, Impart can label each request with a non-conforming token scope tag with slight customizations of our existing non-conforming request and response detections in our pro-code Rule Editor. Combining JWT detections with other runtime rules not only automates the process of identifying potential security issues, but also significantly reduces the manual effort required to monitor and manage API security.
