APIs

APIs are inherently vulnerable to attacks

APIs are essential for applications, but they also provide an easy way for threat actors to take advantage of and misuse services. Hardcoding API keys or credentials into application code is one of the four most common ways that APIs are vulnerable. If APIs leak into the public domain, businesses can suffer significant losses in revenue, service downtime, and brand reputation.

Rogue apps that connect to APIs are prone to abuse, leading to breaches, non-compliance, and loss of user trust. Unprotected apps can also be modified by attackers to steal sensitive data or use the app as a vector for malware or other attacks. As such, API protection is critical to prevent data breaches.
