API Gateway structure, moving beyond simple API keys. Imagine a central API Gateway acting as the single entry point. Instead of basic keys, it leverages context-aware authentication. Upon request, it analyzes various factors like user identity (via federated identity providers like Okta or Azure AD), device posture (is it a trusted corporate device?), network location, and even behavioral biometrics.

A[Client Application] --> B(API Gateway);

C -- Attributes --> E[Policy Decision Point (PDP)];
