Application programmable interfaces (APIs) are an essential component of the online experience — from business websites and applications to consumer platforms like social media. APIs enable different software applications to communicate and interact with each other programmatically.  APIs create a unique security environment that can be difficult to get right. The big problem is that many APIs remain unmanaged and undiscovered, and even known APIs are often poorly protected. Without getting a handle on their…

Securing APIs From Left to Right (and Everywhere in Between)

Major data breaches are on the rise, and APIs are increasingly being used to gain access to sensitive data. The reasons for this are twofold: APIs are the first line of defense into an application (and it’s data), and more and more applications are accessible via the cloud and APIs. Everything from non-critical functionality, like music streaming and social media, to extremely critical data, such as financial accounts and healthcare, is accessible 24×7 through APIs….
