"3 API Security Risks and Recommendations for Mitigation"

Reconnaissance is one of the most time-consuming parts of network attack planning for adversaries. As Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are exposed to the public, attackers spend less time finding attack vectors into the API's network, making APIs an easier target for breaches. If poorly designed, APIs can increase a network's attack surface and cause serious security issues. Since microservice architectures are increasingly replacing monolithic software architectures, APIs are more common than ever. This pervasiveness calls for the identification of API-specific vulnerabilities to implement a Zero Trust (ZT) network strategy. This article continues to discuss API security risks and mitigation recommendations.
