Securing the API Attack Surface by Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG)

Download the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) analyst report exploring today’s API attack surface and the strategies organizations use to discover, inventory, govern, and protect APIs. Learn how security teams reduce API risk through continuous discovery, runtime protection, and stronger API security practices.

According to ESG*, the majority (75%) of organizations typically change or update their APIs on a daily or weekly basis, creating a significant challenge for protecting the changing API attack surface. ESG also discovered the majority (92%) of organizations have experienced at least one security incident related to insecure APIs in the last 12 months, while the majority of organizations (57%) have experienced multiple security incidents related to insecure APIs during the past year.”

API Runtime Protection: Blocking Attacks While the Fix Ships

API runtime protection is security that watches live API traffic in production and stops attacks as they happen. It protects APIs during the time between a vulnerability being found and the fix being deployed, and against attacks on flaws nobody has found yet.

API Security Testing: How to Test APIs the Way Attackers Do

API security testing is the practice of probing APIs the way an attacker would, to find flaws such as broken authorization, data exposure and injection before someone exploits them. Effective API security testing runs authenticated, covers every API you have (including the ones nobody inventoried) and repeats every time an API changes.
