API infrastructure platform provider Kong has updated its Kong Konnect API platform with the Konnect Service Catalog, a de facto system of record that enables greater visibility and stronger management of all APIs in a company’s IT infrastructure, the company said.
The update was announced September 11. Kong Konnect is positioned as an enterprise-grade unified platform for securely building and running API applications. It covers the API life cycle from development to security, governance, and cost efficiency.
Featured in the update is the Konnect Service Catalog, which integrates with systems such as API gateways, service meshes, and Kubernetes to provide a “single source of truth” for all APIs in the infrastructure, enhanced visibility and control over shadow APIs, and allow organizations to proactively mitigate vulnerabilities by eliminating undiscovered and unused APIs, Kong said.
