APIs are designed to extend functionality without the overhead costs of configuring additional security tools. This flexibility and the rapid pace of change often has unintended side effects, such as increasing your attack surface, exposing business logic and/or data leakage. Increased visibility, ownership, tooling and management of your APIs will help reduce the attack surface and help rationalize user behavior and mitigate business logic abuse and data breach. These are just a few of the outcomes that a successful API Security program should provide.

Web and Mobile Applications, by design, increase your attack surface and change rapidly in today's digital first economy. Increased visibility, ownership, tooling, and management of your APIs will help reduce the attack surface and help rationalize user behavior and mitigate business logic abuse and data breach — these are just a few of the outcomes that a successful API Security program should provide. Securing the enterprise, both on-premises and in the cloud, is a challenge in today's landscape.
