Alex Ferguson, founder of RequestRocket, discusses his company's universal translator and proxy platform. The tool adds fine-grained authorization, authentication translation, and telemetry data to outbound API connections, including legacy systems and third-party tools.
“What Request Rocket does is it lets you add granular permissions to APIs that otherwise may not have them. It's like a gateway for outbound API requests that applies security controls around how API access tends to happen in a typical organization.”
“And so what we built with RequestRocket is a universal translator that allows us to connect, control, govern, and observe every connection that we're making to every system and even the ones that we don't own.”
