"Securing APIs Is a Top Priority, Yet Many Don't Have Dedicated Security Solutions"

According to a new study, the security of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) remains a top cybersecurity concern in 2023, but many businesses still lack dedicated API security. Traceable AI research conducted at this year's RSA conference reveals that while 69 percent of organizations claim to incorporate APIs into their cybersecurity strategy, 40 percent of businesses lack dedicated professionals or teams for API security. Twenty-three percent of respondents do not know if their organization has dedicated API security. Although most organizations (61 percent) do not believe they have been the target of an API attack in the past 12 months, an alarming 36 percent of respondents are unsure. In addition, 25 percent of those who have adopted API security tools are unable to baseline API behavior and identify anomalous activity that may be indicative of an API attack. Fifty percent of respondents are uncertain whether their API security solution possesses these capabilities. This article continues to discuss key findings from Traceable AI's 2023 State of API Security report.
