API Management for Content Providers

Securely deliver more content to more home entertainment systems

The Problem
Home entertainment devices are introducing novel ways for content providers and distributors to reach consumers, providing new opportunities for delivering content and promoting loyalty. APIs represent the most cost-effective way to deliver content via these new channels but controlling the sharing of account data and media content requires strong security.

The Solution
Layer 7’s API Management Suite lets content providers securely expose APIs to device manufacturers, providing everything manufacturers need (documentation, code samples, technical support etc.) in order to create innovative applications for presenting content to joint customers. The API Management Suite includes:

• API Proxy – Provides enterprise-grade API security and traffic control
• API Portal – Streamlines developer management and API reporting
• Enterprise Service Manager – Enables API migration and lifecycle management
• OAuth Toolkit – Facilitates flexible deployment of strong authentication models
