Hey guys, just got back from a security conference and I've been thinking about HTTP gateways a lot lately. They're super useful for routing traffic and integrating different APIs, but I've been doing some digging and it seems like they can also be a major security vulnerability if not set up correctly. Has anyone else encountered these issues?

"Yea this is a thing, I had some issues with an HTTP gateway a few months back. Turns out the vendor didn't patch for a critical vuln, and it was affecting all our API endpoints. Guessing it's on the dev's end to make sure they're up-to-date on security protocols."

Thoughts on best practices?
"yup, totally agree, HTTP gateways can be a major security blind spot. I've seen cases where misconfigured gateways have exposed internal APIs to the public, making it a goldmine for attackers. anyone have any good strategies for securing gateways?"
