API Shield adds automatic zombie API detection
API Shield now automatically detects unused API endpoints that haven't received traffic for 32+ days and labels them with the cf-risk-zombie risk label. This helps identify deprecated or forgotten endpoints that may pose security risks, allowing you to review and remove them from your API surface.
API Shield now automatically detects zombie endpoints — saved endpoints that have not received traffic for an extended period. When detected, the cf-risk-zombie risk label is applied.
The scan runs daily alongside existing risk scans. Endpoints are labeled after 32 days without traffic.
Zombie endpoints may indicate deprecated or forgotten API surface area that could pose a security risk. Review these endpoints and consider removing them from Endpoint Management if they are no longer in use. Also consider using a fallthrough rule to prevent communication with endpoints removed from Endpoint Management.
