Detecting API abuse automatically using sequence analysis

What this post added

Introduced Cloudflare Sequence Analytics for APIs, a new feature within API Gateway that allows customers to view and protect important sequences of API requests. This feature enables the creation of positive security models for APIs by enforcing the precedence of endpoints within a sequence, thereby reducing abusive traffic. The post details the concept of API sequences, the challenges in detecting abuse through sequence analysis, and the three-pronged approach of Sequence Analytics, Abuse Detection, and Mitigation.
