Security for application programming interfaces (APIs) is the process of reducing attacks on APIs. As they serve as the foundation for the backend of both mobile and online applications. Therefore, it is essential to safeguard the private information that people and organisations transfer.
API security testing involves checking the endpoints of the API for security and dependability. This ensures that an application programme interface (API) complies with an organisation’s best practices.
API security testing checks off fundamental security criteria, such as those of user access, encryption, and authentication. The goal of API scanning is to provide inputs that would cause an API to exhibit errors and illogical behaviour, basically imitating the behaviours and attack methods of would-be hackers.
An API or Application Programme Interface, is a technique that permits communication between two software systems.
For instance, not all of the names of the streets, towns, cities, restaurants, movie theatres, and other landmarks are stored in your phone’s Google Maps programme. Instead, it establishes a connection to another Google server-based application that holds all of that data. An API is used to enable this connection.
API security has become more crucial, especially with the growth of IoT. Between users, APIs, and the programmes and systems they use, sensitive and important data is transmitted. An otherwise safe computer or network can be easily breached by hackers using an unsecured API. Man-in-the-middle (MITM), distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), injection, and broken access control attacks are all possible
The Application Programming Interface is secure by default. Difficulties arise as a result of the enormous volume of APIs deployed. Additionally, a lack of API development expertise and a failure to take into account web and cloud API security requirements may result in API vulnerabilities.
Here is a list of the top 10 API risks
Broken Object Level Authorisation
Broken Authentication
Broken Object Property Level Authorisation
Unrestricted Resource Consumption
Broken Function Level Authorisation
Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows
Server-Side Request Forgery
Security Misconfiguration
Improper Inventory Management
Unsafe Consumption of APIs
