ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЕ БЕЗОПAСНОСТИ REST API: ПОДХОДЫ К ВAЛИДAЦИИ, ОГРAНИЧЕНИЮ ДОСТУПA И МОНИТОРИНГУ

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technologies has significantly reshaped how government and commercial organizations manage data exchange through REST APIs. Unlike traditional monolithic architectures, distributed systems rely heavily on secure API endpoints to maintain data integrity and availability. This article examines the key components of REST API security, focusing on input validation, access control mechanisms, and real-time monitoring. The study explores architectural advantages of modern security frameworks and explores essential measures required to protect sensitive data in the public sector. Key questions include: Why is API security essential for modern digital infrastructure? What challenges do developers face in preventing sophisticated injection attacks? How do OAuth2 and JWT protocols ensure scalable authorization? What is the role of continuous monitoring in threat detection?
