Apigee for Gaming

Gaming platforms expose a large attack surface through public-facing APIs for player data, in-game transactions, and leaderboards. middleBrick scans these endpoints to map the current security posture against common API weaknesses. The tool reports a risk score and prioritized findings aligned to the OWASP API Top 10 (2023), helping teams address issues that commonly affect authentication, authorization, and data exposure in gaming environments.

middleBrick performs black-box scanning using read-only methods and text-only POST probes suitable for LLM interaction. It covers 12 categories including authentication bypass, IDOR, privilege escalation, input validation, data exposure, SSRF, and LLM security probes. The scanner does not perform active SQL injection or command injection testing, does not detect business logic vulnerabilities, and does not replace a human pentester for high-stakes audits. It also does not detect blind SSRF due to the absence of out-of-band infrastructure.

The tool parses OpenAPI 3.0, 3.1, and Swagger 2.0 documents and resolves recursive $ref references. It cross-references spec definitions against runtime behavior to surface undefined security schemes, sensitive field exposure, deprecated operations, and missing pagination. This helps teams verify that the published contract reflects actual implementation behavior, which is valuable when onboarding new services in a gaming ecosystem.

Authenticated scanning supports Bearer tokens, API keys, Basic auth, and cookies, with domain verification to ensure only the domain owner can scan with credentials. Header forwarding is limited to Authorization, X-API-Key, Cookie, and X-Custom-* headers. middleBrick maps findings to PCI-DSS 4.0, SOC 2 Type II, and the OWASP API Top 10 (2023). For other frameworks, it helps you prepare for and supports audit evidence relevant to security controls without asserting certification or compliance guarantees.

The tool integrates into multiple workflows via a web dashboard, CLI, GitHub Action, MCP Server, and a programmable API. The dashboard centralizes scans, score trends, and downloadable compliance PDFs. The CLI supports scripted execution with JSON or text output. The GitHub Action can gate CI/CD builds based on score thresholds. Pro tier adds scheduled rescans, diff detection, email alerts, signed webhooks, and Slack or Teams notifications. All scan data is deletable on demand and is never used for model training.

Free tier allows 3 scans per month with CLI access. Starter at 99 USD per month supports 15 APIs, monthly scans, dashboard access, email alerts, and the MCP Server. Pro at 499 USD per month covers 100 APIs with additional APIs billed separately, continuous monitoring, GitHub Action gates, CI/CD integration, compliance reports, and signed webhooks. Enterprise at 2000 USD per month provides unlimited APIs, custom rules, SSO, audit logs, SLA, and dedicated support. Note that pricing and included features should be evaluated against the scale and sensitivity of your gaming platform APIs.
