An API allows for custom, on-demand service integration. Leveraging an API allows multiple systems to interoperate with minimal effort and produce compounded benefits. Almost every software service on the market today allows integration via an API. An API can map functions between two products whereby a push and pull relationship is created. If we think of each separate SASE service as a module, an API connects the modules while defining the correct relationship via policy.
The future of all software-based solutions requires a data interchange through a common API framework. This framework operates as a spine of sorts, providing structure and commonality between services. Each module can be visualized as connected to the spine through a rib that is the API. Today, this is not a common approach, as most organizations are using a series of APIs in an as-needed fashion.
