Whitepaper: Best Practices for Securing APIs.

An IT ecosystem consists of various applications that need to communicate with one another to work effectively. For example, an organization’s customer relationship management (CRM) solution may need to share information with its financial department’s invoicing application. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) enable these kinds of applications to communicate, often transmitting sensitive data from one location to another. Knowing that APIs create additional attack vectors that are often difficult for organizations to secure, malicious actors increasingly use API vulnerabilities as part of their attacks.

The attack surface across APIs has increased to the point security teams may not even be aware of their organization’s complete inventory. What if you could understand your API attack landscape to detect malicious activity before it impacts your business?

To mitigate API security vulnerability risk, organizations need to have strategies for identifying and testing APIs
