Systems and methods for inspection of the contents of an application programing interface request

A verification device, comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• receive, from a user equipment (UE), authentication data that includes user information associated with the UE;
• determine, based on the user information, whether a user associated with the UE is authorized to make requests to a server;
• receive, from the UE, and based on whether the user is authorized to make the requests to the server, a request that is intended for the server,
• wherein the request relates to an action that is to be performed by the server, and
• wherein the action includes at least one of provisioning or configuring a firewall;
• determine whether a type of the action of the request corresponds to a permissible type of action associated with the user;
• provide, based on whether the type of action corresponds to the permissible type of action, the request to the server;
• receive, from the server, a response to the request;
• and
• provide, to the UE, the response.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive, from a user equipment (UE) via a first secure connection, a request that is intended for a service,
• wherein the request relates to an action that is to be performed by the service, and
• wherein the action includes at least one of provisioning or configuring a firewall;
• determine, based on the request, whether a user associated with the UE has permission to request the action;
• provide, via a second secure connection and based on whether the user has permission to request the action, the request to the service;
• receive, from the service via the second secure connection, a response to the request;
• and
• provide, to the UE via the first secure connection, the response.
