APIs – Why do we need to Protect!
APIs are at the heart of today’s modern applications, helping organizations connect with customers and drive revenue and innovate with digital transformation initiatives.
APIs have also become the top application target for attackers, as countless high-profile breaches show. Gartner predicts that “By 2022, API abuses will move from an infrequent to the most-frequent attack vector, resulting in data breaches for enterprise web applications.” Traditional solutions including WAFs, and API Gateways cannot protect your APIs against today’s attacks.
