API SECURITY DATASHEET

Cloud-native and other service-based architectures have many advantages, and many organizations are adopting them. As a result, new RESTful web services and other API-based services are continually appearing. Unfortunately, as APIs evolve, so do their potential attack surfaces. Developers are often preoccupied with rigorous delivery schedules, so it is easy for newly-created vulnerabilities to go unnoticed. Meanwhile, hackers focus on finding opportunities for abuse that the developers hadn’t anticipated. In this environment, robust API protection is vital.
