Our take

Tyk offers an API management platform that enables companies to securely share data with third parties, facilitating the sale of services through non-direct channels. This solution helps businesses harness the power of their APIs on a large scale while ensuring data security and accessibility.

The platform acts as both a management and security layer between APIs, simplifying the process for organisations to manage access. By providing a robust security framework, Tyk ensures that only authorised users can interact with an organisation's APIs, thereby protecting sensitive data.

With millions of transactions processed daily for thousands of organisations, including notable clients like AXA, Cisco, Trip Advisor, Starbucks, Domino's, Sephora, and the UK Ministry of Justice, Tyk has established itself as a trusted leader in API management.
