API Security Best Practices

One emerging API best practice involves treating APIs like products. Similar to products, APIs should be designed with a specific purpose and teams should also deliver APIs using a Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) framework. Join us for this webinar to get a walkthrough of Anypoint Platform's capabilities, and learn how the platform addresses the full API lifecycle––from design and implementation to security and governance of APIs.

The healthcare industry is witnessing an explosion of medical data from EHRs, fitness trackers, mobile health applications, and more.

To provide compelling patient experiences, providers must think beyond just driving interoperability across clinical data stores, and consider how to extend interoperability across healthcare partners and non-clinical applications. Doing so requires a new integrated healthcare strategy that extends beyond those traditionally offered by HL7 interface engines.

Attendees will learn:

- Why healthcare organizations are leaning on their IT teams to drive business critical and care-centric strategic initiatives.
- How MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform and Edifecs’ solution can help health organizations unlock medical data from EHRs and other systems, to better improve the patient experience.

Legacy application modernization is an imperative for IT teams that are looking to rapidly develop modern web, mobile, and cloud applications to meet the needs of the business. Typically, these legacy applications become tightly-coupled, stifling IT agility whenever changes need to be made to these applications.

Furthermore, to get access to their underlying data or services, teams need to work with dated file formats and transport protocols; this is often time-consuming and requires specialized expertise.

Key Takeaways

- MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform supports a variety of different legacy modernization strategies.
- Teams can approach legacy modernization in a way that creates an abstraction layer between the legacy applications and end-consuming applications––increasing architectural agility
- Using MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform, organizations can rapidly connect to common legacy systems, such as IBM CICS mainframes and IBM AS/400, 5X faster using pre-built connectors and templates.

More and more financial institutions are partnering with FinTechs and leveraging Application Program Interfaces (APIs) to attract new prospects and to delight current consumers through unprecedented Customer Experience (CX). APIs offer a bridge between systems while paving a digital path to a connected financial ecosystem.

The institutions that are able to drive this digital transformation successfully, do not think of these capabilities as additional channels and services. Rather, these institutions understand that they must move from a vision of banking as a physical network of branches and ATMs, to a digital platform, comprising core capabilities such as account servicing and the provision of financial products that can be accessed wherever, and whenever, customers wish.

Join this webinar and learn how these institutions are building a digital banking platform with APIs.
