Gartner’s CASCE Proposal for Securing Composite Applications
Background
Many applications today rely on components from multiple providers, accessed via web APIs – referred to as “composite applications,” according to Techopedia. Securing these applications, including communication across components, is challenging.
Now Gartner is promoting a solution to these challenges in a report, 2021 Gartner® Innovation Insight for Comprehensive Secure Connectivity for Composite Applications. The report describes composite applications as “a security architecture challenge” and proposes techniques “to implement these applications with greater consistency, flexibility and integrity.” Joe Skorupa of Gartner also spoke about these issues at the third annual ZTA and DevSecOps for Cloud-Native Applications conference, held in January.
