Security scores and profiles API

This page applies to Apigee and Apigee hybrid.

View Apigee Edge documentation.

Overview

This page describes how to manage Risk Assessment security scores and security profiles using APIs. It also presents example API requests.

Note: The APIs for Risk Assessment v1 and v2 have separate data and APIs. The APIs from one cannot be used to query the other. For example, Risk Assessment v1 APIs cannot be used to query Risk Assessment v2 data.

For an overview of the Risk Assessment functionality, including limitations, and instructions for using the UI, see Risk assessment overview and UI.

Risk Assessment v2 API Examples

Preview — Risk Assessment v2

This feature is subject to the "Pre-GA Offerings Terms" in the General Service Terms section of the Service Specific Terms. Pre-GA features are available "as is" and might have limited support. For more information, see the launch stage descriptions.

Retrieve batch security assessment results

Users with the Security Admin or Security Viewer roles have permissions to perform an ad hoc risk assessment computation. You'll need to specify the security profile, scope, and resources to be assessed. Resources could be include_all_resources: true to compute on all resources within the scope, or only a handful. See securityAssessmentResults.batchCompute in the Apigee Management API reference documentation for more information on this functionality.

curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/ORG/securityAssessmentResults:batchCompute" \
  -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"
  -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "profile": "google-default",
    "scope": "ENV",
    "include_all_resources": {}
  }'

where:

• ORG is your organization.
• ENV is the environment in which you are viewing the scores.

This is a potential response for the request above.

Risk Assessment v1

This section shows information and examples for Risk Assessment v1 APIs.

Limitations on security scores when using the APIs

Security scores have the following limitations when used from the security scores and profiles APIs:

• Supported input fields in JSON:
  • timeRange: Values are limited by the criteria described in the computEnvironmentScores API reference.
  • filters: See Filters supported in the API.
  • pageSize: Maximum number of subcomponents to be returned in a single page: 100.
• Multiple input filters are not supported.
• Impact field in response is not supported. (Impact field is the potential impact of this recommendation on the overall score. This denotes how important this recommendation is to improve the score.)

For general security score limitations not specific to use from the APIs, see Limitations on security scores v1.

Parameters in example API calls

The following sections provide example API calls and can use the following parameters:

• ORG is your organization.
• ENV is the environment in which you want scores to be calculated.
• ENVGROUP is an environment group containing the environment.
• PROFILE_ID is the name of the profile. PROFILE_ID can be default or the name of a custom profile that you create.

  PROFILE_ID must contain from 1 to 63 characters, which can be lower case letters, numbers 0-9, or hyphens. The first character must be a lower case letter. The last character must be a lower case letter or number.

• PROXY_NAME: The name of the proxy.
• RESOURCES can be:
  • {"all_resources":true} for all resources within the scope.
  • {"includes": { "resources": [{"name": "<proxy-name>"}]} to monitor one or more specified proxies. For example, {"includes": { "resources": [{"name": "my-proxy-1"}]} to monitor the proxy called my-proxy-1.
  • {"excludes": { "resources": [{"name": "<proxy-name>"}]} to monitor all the resources except one or more specified proxies. For example, {"excludes": { "resources": [{"name": "my-proxy-1"}]} monitors all resources except the proxy called my-proxy-1.
• $TOKEN is the environment variable for an OAuth access token.
• timeRange is the time range for the scores.

Use the default security profile

The following examples show how to use the default security profile. See Parameters in example API calls for the parameters used in the examples.

Attach the default security profile to an environment

To view security scores, you need to attach a profile to the environment whose security you want to evaluate. To attach the default security profile to an environment, use the following command:

curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/ORG/securityProfiles/default/environments" \
       -X POST \
       -d '{"name": "ENV"}' \
       -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Note: The parameter securityProfileRevisionId has been deprecated. If you include this parameter in an API call, Advanced API Security will use the latest revision of the profile, regardless of the value of the parameter.

Get the default security profile definition

To get the definition of the default security profile, enter the following command:

curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/ORG/securityProfiles/default" \
       -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Detach the default security profile from an environment

If you need to detach the default profile from an environment, you can do so as follows:

  curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/ORG/securityProfiles/default/environments/ENV" \
         -X DELETE
         -H 'Content-type: application/json' \
         -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN"

Use a custom security profile

Preview — Advanced API Security Custom Profiles

This feature is covered by the Pre-GA Offerings Terms of the Google Cloud Terms of Service. Pre-GA features may have limited support, and changes to pre-GA features may not be compatible with other pre-GA versions. For more information, see the launch stage descriptions.

Support for the Preview launch of Advanced API Security Custom Profiles is available through the Apigee - Google Cloud Community forum.

You can create a custom security profile with an API call in either of the following ways:

• Explicitly define the profile in the body of the call.
• Attach a JSON file that contains the profile definition to the call.

The following sections give examples of both methods. See Parameters in example API calls for the parameters used in the examples.

The following fields in the example API calls specify the custom profile:

• description: A description of the custom profile.
• profileConfig: A list of the categories to include in the custom profile. This can be any subset of the following security categories:
  • abuse
  • authorization
  • cors
  • mtls
  • mediation
  • threat

Define the profile in the body of an API call

To define a custom profile in the body of an API call, enter a command similar to the following:

curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/ORG/securityProfiles?security_profile_id=PROFILE_ID" \
       -X POST \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -d '{
         "description":"test custom profile",
         "profileConfig" : {
           "categories":[
             {"cors":{}},
             {"threat":{}}
           ]
         }
       }'

This creates a custom profile that includes the categories cors and threat, and returns the following response:

{
  "name": "PROFILE_ID",
  "revisionId": "1",
  "revisionCreateTime": "2023-07-17T18:47:08Z",
  "revisionUpdateTime": "2023-07-17T18:47:08Z",
  "scoringConfigs": [
    {
      "title": "json",
      "scorePath": "/org@ORG/envgroup@ENVGROUP/env@ENV/proxies/proxy@$proxy/policies/individual/security/threat/json",
      "description": "Check if JSONThreatProtection policy is configured."
    },
    {
      "title": "xml",
      "scorePath": "/org@ORG/envgroup@ENVGROUP/env@ENV/proxies/proxy@$proxy/policies/individual/security/threat/xml",
      "description": "Check if XMLThreatProtection policy is configured."
    },
    {
      "title": "cors",
      "scorePath": "/org@ORG/envgroup@ENVGROUP/env@ENV/proxies/proxy@$proxy/policies/individual/security/cors",
      "description": "Check if CORS policy is configured."
    }
  ],
  "maxScore": 1200,
  "minScore": 200,
  "profileConfig": {
    "categories": [
      {
        "cors": {}
      },
      {
        "threat": {}
      }
    ]
  },
  "description": "test custom profile"
  }

Define the profile by attaching a JSON file to an API call

You can also define a custom security profile by attaching a JSON file that defines the profile to an API call. As an example, first create the following JSON file:

{
  "description": "test custom profile",
  "profileConfig" : {
    "categories":[
      {"cors":{}},
      {"threat" :{}},
    ]
  }
}

This defines a profile with categories cors and threat. You can then create a profile based on these categories as follows:

curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/ORG/securityProfiles?security_profile_id=PROFILE_ID" \
       -X POST \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
       -d @create_profile.json

where create_profile.json is the name of the JSON file described above.

Get a custom security profile definition

To get the definition of a custom security profile, enter a command similar to the following:

  curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/ORG/securityProfiles/PROFILE_ID" \
         -X GET \
         -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
         -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Detach a custom security profile from an environment

To detach a custom security profile from an environment, enter a command similar to the following:

curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/ORG/securityProfiles/PROFILE_ID/environments/ENV" \
       -X DELETE \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Delete a custom security profile

To delete a custom security profile, enter a command similar to the following:

curl "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/ORG/securityProfiles/PROFILE_ID" \
       -X DELETE \
       -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
       -H "Content-Type: application/json"

Note: If you delete a custom security profile, you will lose all scores related to the profile, and all environments attached to the profile will be automatically detached.
