API Governance

Postman's built-in API Governance empowers teams to define and enforce API design rules directly within the development environment. With the introduction of Spec Hub, teams can now collaboratively create and manage OpenAPI 3.0 and AsyncAPI 2.0 specifications, ensuring adherence to industry standards and organizational guidelines. In addition, you can add data types, formats, required fields, and constraints to your request parameters, headers, and bodies to Postman Collections, enabling early validation, stronger collaboration, and more accurate testing. This integrated approach promotes consistent, high-quality APIs and enhances collaboration between development and design teams.

API Security

Postman's API Security makes it easy for developers to discover organizational policies and incorporate them into API development. Product managers and developers see security contracts on the same platform where they are designing, building, and deploying APIs. By shifting left, organizations can invest in security earlier on in the lifecycle, while equipping API teams with guidelines and policies to deliver more secure APIs.

Reporting

Get deep insights about your APIs and understand where you are across your entire API landscape with respect to your API lifecycle through Postman's reporting dashboard. The dashboard helps you quickly identify which APIs are undocumented, untested, or unmaintained, which improves your operational management and helps you understand how to use your team resources most effectively. Postman also ensures that your instance is used securely through security audits for access tokens.

Your dashboard also includes Security Audit reports that consolidate the findings of the Postman Token Scanner to give you a quick view into whether your organization has accidentally exposed any tokens.
