Uncover malicious API activity to decrease the potential of a major security breach
There is no way around it – study after study shows that security breaches cost millions. And with APIs being the most frequent attack vector for application attacks according to Gartner, it simply makes financial sense to do everything you can to protect your production APIs during runtime.
Unlike when they launch more traditional attacks, bad actors targeting APIs use far more subtle methods to uncover and exploit vulnerabilities. They’re looking for business logic flaws they can exploit to access data they should not be able to get. For example, attackers often obtain access to an API – in many cases using valid credentials they’ve established – and then manipulate elements of an API request to find a logic gap and exploit it to abuse an API or gain unauthorized access to systems or data.
