Application programming interfaces (APIs) are increasingly enabling business innovation. A rapid increase in mobile applications, containers, serverless computing, microservices architectures and cloud adoption has led to an explosion in API usage, with many enterprises deploying hundreds or even thousands of APIs.
However, many organizations’ API security strategies are still maturing: adequate security controls have yet to be developed, vulnerable code is knowingly pushed into production and organisations are not fully aware of what is in their API estate and the exposure to risk this may represent.
With Gartner now stating APIs will be the number one attack vector for cloud applications in 2022, decision-makers responsible for protecting APIs may now need to review their security strategies.
