The term API, or application programming interface, is a method where systems and applications communicate with each other by sending predetermined parameters in a request and receiving responses in a predetermined format. APIs can serve as integration layers and be used by different systems and solution providers to exchange information between them allowing companies to share and receive their data to external third-party developers, business partners and internal departments.
The State of API Security Report Q1 2023 from SALT Security goes even further, indicating a 400% increase in attacks among its clients where 31% experienced a sensitive data exposure and 17% suffered a data breach resulting from API security gaps.
