Decoding JWTs has never been easier! Impart Security is excited to announce the addition of Integrated JWT Decoding Functions to our API security platform, enabling security teams to create sophisticated security rules by leveraging business context within JWT claims.

Security development teams that encode user identifiers will find it simpler to extract and utilize user identifiers and other claims encoded within JWTs. They can also create dynamic rate-limiting rules based on these identifiers in real time, offering a highly responsive approach to managing access and preventing abuse.

When used in conjunction with Impart’s built-in JWT-based detections, such as expiry time checks, security teams gain a powerful mechanism for enhancing security controls. This integrated approach provides a robust defense against potential threats, leveraging the unique advantages of JWTs.

Traditional runtime security tools, including Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), lack the capability to inspect authenticated traffic with this level of detail. They also fall short in higher-order functions required at runtime operations like JWT token decoding or weak password detection. Impart’s API security platform fills this gap, delivering a tailored experience that addresses the complexities of modern API security.
