APIs are a common attack vector for malicious actors. Use our API security testing checklist and best practices to protect your organization and its data.
APIs enable applications to exchange and consume data and services. Due to their ability to access an organization's sensitive data, APIs are an attractive target for malicious hackers and threat actors. Organizations must secure their APIs to protect enterprise resources, as well as other applications and organizations that use the API.
Teams should conduct API security testing to ensure the API remains available under load. Testing must also determine the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data and resources an API exposes. API security testing should be comprehensive and continuous so that it can address vulnerability discovery and remediation, as well as foster resilience to adversaries.
