According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a hybrid cloud is a cloud computing deployment model that describes a composition of two or more distinct cloud infrastructures (private, community, or public) that remain unique entities but are bound together by standardized or proprietary technology that enables data and application portability. Hybrid clouds allow organizations to leverage the advantages of multiple cloud environments, such as combining the scalability and cost-efficiency of public clouds with the security and control of private clouds. This model facilitates flexibility and dynamic scalability, supporting diverse workloads and business needs while ensuring that sensitive data and applications can remain in a controlled private environment.

Explanation

We need to note few things about the scenario which will help us in reaching the correct solution.

Point 1 : The APIs are all publicly available and are associated with several mobile applications and web applications. This means Apply an IP blacklist policy is not viable option. as blacklisting IPs is limited to partial web traffic. It can't be useful for traffic from mobile application

Point 2 : The organization does NOT want to use any authentication or compliance policies for these APIs. This means we can not apply HTTPS mutual authentication scheme.

Header injection or removal will not help the purpose.

By its nature, JSON is vulnerable to JavaScript injection. When you parse the JSON object, the malicious code inflicts its damages. An inordinate increase in the size and depth of the JSON payload can indicate injection. Applying the JSON threat protection policy can limit the size of your JSON payload and thwart recursive additions to the JSON hierarchy.

Hence correct answer is Apply a JSON threat protection policy to all APIs to detect potential threat vectors
