Stick your services in a DMZ. It’s easy to setup with PFSense. Don’t allow traffic from your service to anywhere that it shouldn’t go. If your API contains any vulnerabilities, they could be abused to pivot into the internal network. Now, it’s not likely, but it’s certainly possible. Especially if those APIs are from someone open source project or something, if a vuln gets discovered it’s likely to be targeted en-mass.
Ahhh, got it. I think implementing DMZs and having additional hardware to run my services seems to be the safest option. But yea, thanks alot!
