| US8990942 - Method and Systems for API-Level Intrusion Detection Instructions detail the configuration and operation of an API sandbox module, parsing API calls to extract components, comparing them against security rules, and identifying potential intrusions. This approach specializes in automated and scalable security monitoring mechanisms, enhancing enterprise-level software resilience. | 1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable application programming interface (API)-level intrusion detection instructions for: receiving an API call for a service at an API sandbox module; parsing the API call to extract at least one of: an API call name; or one or more API call parameters; generating a copy of the at least one of: the API call name or the one or more API call parameters; providing, to an intrusion detection rules execution engine, the copy of the at least one of: the API call name or the one or more API call parameters; determining, via the intrusion detection rules execution engine, whether the API call is in violation of one or more security rules obtained from a security rules object; and providing an indication of whether the API call is in violation of the one or more security rules; wherein the API sandbox module is co-located at an enterprise software gateway, and is configured for: receiving API calls for user selected developers and user selected API name references, and processing the received API calls for application specific intrusion detection. |
