API Security Services
The APIs that accelerate modern business also create security gaps. See how our thorough API Security Services helps organizations reduce this risk.
API Security Services
The rapid proliferation of application programming interfaces (APIs) that enable integration, communication, and the flow of data across applications, platforms, and services has made them a leading target for cybercriminals.
APIs accelerate business opportunities, but the push to deploy them often leads to overlooked security flaws, introducing critical vulnerabilities that contribute to data breaches and information leaks.
Align your APIs with your business objectives and fortify them against emerging threats with guidance from our professionals — enabling you to operate securely.
Protect your APIs with comprehensive solutions
Enterprise security measures often fall short in mitigating the unique risks posed by APIs. Our comprehensive suite of API security solutions helps your organization safeguard APIs and manage evolving threats effectively.
Key focus areas
Solutions provide support across your API lifecycle.
As applications grow in complexity and teams evolve, APIs often become overlooked, leading to critical security blind spots. Regain control by identifying and cataloging all APIs within your environment, regardless of their current status.
API discovery includes:
- Code repositories. Analyze your source code repositories to uncover hidden or undocumented APIs.
- Reconnaissance scanning. Uncover APIs in your infrastructure that may not be documented in your inventory.
- Network traffic monitoring. Monitor network traffic at ingress and egress points to detect APIs that are interacting with your systems.
- Cloud gateway inspection. Track all APIs deployed across various cloud environments to prevent exposure from misconfigured or forgotten APIs.
Take a comprehensive approach to assessing the security of your APIs with penetration testing service — from using the API as an end-user to the in-depth testing of your API endpoints for potential security risks.
Penetration testing processes include:
- API analysis. After identifying the APIs in your environment, our testers review API documentation, work with the API to have well-formed requests, and analyze the documentation for higher-risk requests.
- Thorough vulnerability testing. Using a combination of automated and hands-on techniques, our team conducts comprehensive testing of each API endpoint to identify security weakness.
Testing for a wide range of security flaws finds API vulnerabilities and demonstrates how these vulnerabilities can be exploited.
While traditional penetration testing provides a snapshot of your API security at a point in time safeguarding your APIs on an ongoing basis is also key. Continuous security testing service include:
- Ongoing API security management. Outsource management of your API security testing. Our scans continually assess your APIs, detect new vulnerabilities, and address them promptly.
- Vulnerability tracking over time. Prevent resolved vulnerabilities from re-emerging as new features are introduced and your team gains insight into recurring issues or the effectiveness of remediation efforts.
- Customizable testing frequency. Customize the frequency of testing and reporting to match your business needs, fit seamlessly into your operational workflow, and provide consistent and up-to-date security posture.
- Quick reporting and actionable insights. Each round of testing provides a report on any new vulnerabilities, the status of previously identified issues, and actionable insights and recommendations.
