Security Integration Guide

Overview

This guide covers security best practices and integration requirements for TelcoAPI implementation.

Authentication

API Key Authentication

const apiKey = process.env.TELCO_API_KEY;
const client = new TelcoAPIClient({
  apiKey,
  environment: 'production'
});

OAuth 2.0

const client = new TelcoAPIClient({
  clientId: process.env.CLIENT_ID,
  clientSecret: process.env.CLIENT_SECRET,
  authUrl: 'https://auth.telco-api.com/oauth2/token'
});

Security Best Practices

  1. API Key Management
  2. Store keys in secure environment variables
  3. Rotate keys regularly
  4. Use different keys for development and production

  5. Network Security

  6. Use TLS 1.3 for all connections
  7. Implement IP whitelisting
  8. Enable request signing
  9. Use secure DNS resolution

  10. Access Control

  11. Implement role-based access control (RBAC)
  12. Use principle of least privilege
  13. Regular access audits
  14. Implement session management

  15. Data Protection

  16. Encrypt sensitive data at rest
  17. Use secure key management
  18. Implement data masking
  19. Regular security assessments

Compliance

  • GDPR compliance
  • PCI DSS requirements
  • Telecom regulations
  • Data residency requirements

Monitoring and Alerts

const monitor = new SecurityMonitor({
  alertThreshold: 'medium',
  notificationEndpoint: 'https://alerts.company.com/security',
  metrics: ['auth_failures', 'api_abuse', 'data_access']
});

Incident Response

  1. Detection
  2. Automated threat detection
  3. Anomaly detection
  4. Real-time monitoring

  5. Response

  6. Automated blocking
  7. Incident logging
  8. Alert notification
  9. Response procedures

  10. Recovery

  11. Service restoration
  12. Post-incident analysis
  13. Security improvements
  14. Documentation updates
