Abstract

The increasing adoption of microservices architectures has introduced significant security challenges, including API vulnerabilities, unauthorized access, and cyber threats. This paper proposes a hybrid security framework integrating deep neural networks (DNNs) for real-time threat detection and blockchain for immutable transaction logging. Our approach enhances API security by leveraging AI-based intrusion detection and decentralized authentication while mitigating API-based DDoS attacks and unauthorized access. Simulations and real-world testing show 98% accuracy in threat detection with minimal latency overhead (~150ms). Despite challenges like blockchain speed and AI false positives, optimizations such as Layer-2 scaling and hybrid anomaly detection improve performance, ensuring scalable, end-to-end security.
