From Reactive to Proactive, Changing the Culture on API Security
Your Developers are Using APIs Everywhere. But Are Your APIs Secure?
Statistics demonstrate that 95% of companies have experienced attacks targeting their usage of APIs in their modern applications, and this is most likely a concern for you. And yes, it’s likely keeping you up at night. When using other people’s code–via APIs–how do you make sure you’re not using, directly or indirectly, vulnerable APIs?
There are good security approaches and best practices that start at the API code level. But the bigger question is, “do your developers know what those practices are?” Security and threat intelligence must play a role within each part of the API lifecycle to stay ahead of the curve.
