Can additional policies be applied over Anypoint API policies?

Applying additional policies over Anypoint API policies is indeed possible, and the correct approach is through the use of Anypoint Security as an additional product. Anypoint Security provides a layer where organizations can implement further security measures such as rate limiting, threat protection, and complex access controls on top of existing API policies. This capability allows for greater flexibility in securing APIs while still maintaining the base policies established through the Anypoint platform.

The choice of using Anypoint Security also integrates seamlessly with existing policies, ensuring that both sets of policies work together to enforce security and compliance without the need to downgrade or replace any pre-defined API policies. This modular approach supports evolving security requirements and helps organizations adapt without significant disruptions to their existing API ecosystem.
