The new API enables administrators to manage key configurations and easily integrate them into existing workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-automated-security-processes-reduce-manual-admin-efforts\">Automated security processes reduce manual admin efforts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new <em>Configuration API<\/em> enables administrators to conveniently manage allowlist and blocklist entries via a REST interface. In this way, the IT team can centrally oversee security-related lists and carry out changes in a controlled and, crucially, automated manner. The aim is clear \u2013 less manual work, greater consistency, and better integration into the company\u2019s process landscape and existing systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-api-already-available-for-numerous-functions\">API already available for numerous functions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first version of the API already supports the creation, updating, and deletion of list entries related to several of Retarus\u2019 security layers. These include AntiSpam, phishing detection, CxO Fraud Protection, as well as URL rewriting and Time-of-Click Protection. The API is authenticated using the well-established <em>OAuth2<\/em> standard. Going forward, the interface will continuously be extended to include even more configuration options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-integration-into-existing-workflow-systems\">Integration into existing workflow systems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <em>Configuration API<\/em> has been engineered to seamlessly integrate into existing automation and security processes, along with their respective applications. Typical use cases include managing and maintaining lists from SIEM, SOAR, or ticketing systems, as well as synchronizing enterprise-wide security policies across multiple clients, domains, profiles, or users. Of course, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retarus.com\/blog\/en\/retarus-introduces-the-docs-mcp-server-for-ai-assisted-integrations-and-faster-onboarding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">integration of AI development tools (buzzword: MCP)<\/a> has also been taken into account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this way, Retarus is supplementing the existing configuration options in the myEAS portal with additional options for administrators. The launch represents an important step toward greater efficiency and consistency and is particularly beneficial in situations where teams have clearly defined security processes, multiple environments need to be operated in parallel, or automation chains are highly complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-more-options-for-admins-and-security-teams\">More options for admins and security teams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bear in mind that our <em>Configuration API<\/em> is not a standalone add-on tool, but an integral component aimed at boosting efficiency in email security management.
