Web apps run on APIs
There’s no way around it: APIs are a staple in software development, but if left unchecked,
they’re rife with risk and contribute to those expanding attack surfaces.
1.29B
API requests created between 2022 and 2023 1
on just one of many management platforms in the thriving API ecosystem
76%
of orgs report having an average of 26 APIs per deployed app 2
which only increases their potential attack surface
90%
of organizations with APIs will have a federated team 3
responsible for quality of their APIs by 2026
APIs are essential for data exchange and building application architecture, but a lack of robust API inventory, shoddy scans, and tight deadlines often mean they’re lost in the security shuffle.
Gone are the days of compromising on AppSec. Holistic strategies with automation and SDLC integrations help cover every corner of your asset inventory, including web applications and APIs, so that you’re prepared for the next threat. Learn why you don’t need to sacrifice speed or security when working with mission-critical APIs.
