API Security & Compliance FAQs | CloudQix

Security is essential to every integration. These FAQs explain how APIs protect data, ensure compliance, and keep automated workflows safe. 

API security involves protecting the integrity and confidentiality of data shared between connected systems. It includes authentication, authorization, encryption, and monitoring to prevent unauthorized access or misuse.

Authentication verifies the identity of the user or system requesting access, while authorization determines what that user or system is allowed to do. Both work together to ensure data security and prevent abuse.

Encryption converts sensitive information into unreadable code during transmission, ensuring that even if intercepted, the data cannot be understood. Most secure APIs use HTTPS (SSL/TLS) to protect communication between systems.

OAuth 2.0 is a widely used authorization framework that allows users to grant applications limited access to their data without sharing credentials. It’s a standard for enabling secure third-party integrations and API access control.

CloudQix adheres to strict data protection standards, using encryption, tokenization, and access controls to safeguard user data. The platform is designed with GDPR and SOC 2 principles in mind to support compliance for global users.

Use authentication tokens, enforce HTTPS, limit data exposure, and monitor API traffic for suspicious activity. Regularly update credentials, rotate keys, and review access logs to maintain the highest level of protection.
