5 Web Security Considerations for GraphQL
GraphQL simplifies application development but introduces unique security challenges that traditional API security tools often overlook. In this on-demand webinar, learn about the five most common GraphQL security vulnerabilities, how attackers exploit GraphQL APIs, and best practices for securing GraphQL through continuous API security testing, strong authorization, and runtime protection.
Overview
GraphQL is a popular data query language that makes it easier to get data from a server to a client via an API call. It is commonly deployed as a piece of the technology stack for modern web and mobile applications. However, the complex nature of GraphQL makes it easier for hackers to exploit if embedded APIs and cloud resources are not secure. Learn about the right way to protect your AppSec stack that traditional approaches do not yet offer.
