Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) power modern applications, fuel digital experiences, and enable faster business growth. APIs are at the heart of communication between users, cloud services, and data – more and more so as organizations move from monolithic to microservice based application architectures. But the interesting challenge is that APIs are loved by developers and threat actors alike. Threat actors increasingly use APIs as their primary attack vector to breach data from cloud applications, which means API security is now a critical priority for CISOs.
