API Security refers to the set of practices, tools, and processes that protect APIs from unauthorized access, misuse, and exploitation. It involves authenticating users, validating requests, encrypting data, and detecting anomalies to prevent data breaches, downtime, or malicious activities.
With cybercriminals increasingly targeting APIs through injection attacks, man-in-the-middle exploits, and credential abuse, robust API security is not optional—it’s essential.
In today’s connected landscape—where APIs power everything from mobile banking to IoT—unsecured APIs can result in data breaches, application downtime, and loss of compliance.
Without protection, APIs can be exploited to exfiltrate sensitive customer or business data.
Many industries (finance, healthcare, e-commerce) require API protection to meet GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 compliance.
APIs drive innovation, but innovation must be secure to be sustainable.
From OWASP API Security Top 10 vulnerabilities to bot-driven DDoS attacks, threats evolve rapidly.
One breach can permanently damage customer trust and brand credibility.
