Hi,
general question:
How is the backend-gateway supposed to be protected from calls outside of Zed (direct calls to the url)?

    There is an API token passed from the client to the gateway:

    (from config_default.php)

    $config[UserConstants::USER_SYSTEM_USERS] = [
        'yves_system',
    ];
    $config[SecuritySystemUserConstants::AUTH_DEFAULT_CREDENTIALS] = [
        'yves_system' => [
            'token' => getenv('SPRYKER_ZED_REQUEST_TOKEN') ?: '',
        ],
    ];

    But if you host Spryker on premise it might be wise to allow requests on Zed only from a certain network to improve the security here. Downside is that everyone who needs to have access to Zed either needs to come from these network (e.g.: VPN) or you can put the backoffice container into a DMZ like you should do with Yves as well.
