Prevent Attacks With Mule Enterprise Security

As the number of services and applications that need access to enterprise data grows, integration platforms bring about a multitude of security challenges. Security challenges have evolved and become more complex:

• An increase in the number of API and SOA endpoints makes access control more important than ever before.
• Tightened information security regulations mean that a slight error can result in a security breach that could potentially put you out of business.
• Highly distributed ecosystems and multiple platforms have made enterprise ecosystems more and more complex, making them even more difficult to protect.
• Attackers are progressing alongside technology. As technology becomes more sophisticated, the potential for greater damage rises, allowing for attackers to be more malevolent.

Mule as an ESB currently has in place a sturdy set of security features:

• Mule Security Manager provides authentication and authorization for inbound requests and credential mapping for outbound calls.
• LDAP and third-party identity management system integration.
• SAML 2.0 federated identity standard provides validation of inbound requests.
• SFTP enables Mule flows to read and write to remote directories over the SSH protocol.

To address growing security challenges and concerns, MuleSoft now offers the following security features for Mule as an ESB Enterprise:

• OAuth
• Credential Vault
• Security Filters
• Message Encryption

Mule Enterprise Security blocks unwarranted access to your enterprise systems, maintains data integrity and confidentiality by eliminating exposure of sensitive data, and hinders attacks through threat management. Discover how Mule Enterprise Security works to guard your enterprise systems by utilizing security filters.

Mule Enterprise Security works to prevent security attacks on your enterprise ecosystems through dynamic threat management. Users can draw on security filters to restrict access to their systems based on the client IPs. Additionally, customers can employ message expiration policies to prevent replay attacks.

Having support for IP Whitelist and Expiration filters allows Mule to set filtering parameters. Businesses can specify a range of IP addresses or construct a particular set to have access to your network, database, or system. What's more, users can filter IPs by single or CIDR filtering. Moreover, message expiry based filtering also provides a valuable option, ensuring no replay attacks occurs.

Common use cases include:

• Network security
• Replay attacks
• Man-in-the-middle attack concerns

Mule Enterprise Security offers robust end-to-end protection for your enterprise ecosystem, and does so in a very user-friendly way. In addition to guarding your enterprise system against unwarranted attacks, Mule Enterprise Security also offers solutions to maintain information integrity and protect from unwanted access.
