APIs have become essential for digital interaction, but if misconfigured or improperly monitored, they can open businesses to severe risks including data exfiltration.
Unchecked openness of APIs exposes sensitive data to threat actors, as evidenced by the 2022 Optus breach caused by poor authentication protocols.
The Trello data breach showed how easily vulnerabilities can be exploited, with a hacker discovering an unprotected developer API endpoint that allowed access to user information.
The rapid growth of API traffic poses a significant challenge to security, requiring businesses to effectively monitor and manage vast amounts of API interactions to prevent breaches.
