API security

From exposed routes to explicit permissions.

Explore the api security collection in the Sentinel Journal.

The API security collection focuses on the relationship between an authenticated caller, a specific resource, and an authorized action. Start with the checklist when you need an owned inventory and a repeatable review. Move to object-level authorization when tenant boundaries, nested resources, or background work create ambiguity. The incident response playbook connects those preventive decisions to evidence, containment, and recovery. These guides propose working practices, not certification scores. Apply them to one important workflow with synthetic resources and clear ownership before expanding the review across the application.
