Securing APIs is specialized work. Here's what organizations should look for when selecting an outside partner.
Application programming interfaces (APIs) are a powerful technology that allow businesses to innovate faster and keep up with the demanding pace of the market. But they also come with their own set of challenges. Not only do APIs expand the attack surface, they also expose new entry points to disrupt services and gain access to data, including personal identifiable information (PII).
In most API-related incidents, breaches occur via relatively simple technical means. Most often, the root cause of these breaches is one or more poorly secured API endpoints. The news is not all bad, however. Businesses can take straightforward steps to greatly improve their API security.
