Application programming interfaces (APIs) have become an essential component of modern applications in the digital age. However, with the increasing reliance on APIs as more businesses digitize their operations, the need for API security is more undeniable than ever before. API security is imperative as it prevents unauthorized access to data, maintains the confidentiality of users’ information, and helps prevent malicious attacks that could lead to significant damage to your business.

The Open Worldwide Application Security Project, better known as OWASP, is about to release the new version of their famous API Security Top 10 list, and we have a copy of the release candidate. What is the release candidate? Well it’s a fancy way of saying the “sneak peek”, which means the list isn’t currently final. OWASP is currently accepting feedback from industry professionals on the proposed list before it’s finalized.

World-renowned analyst firm, Gartner, recently published a research piece entitled, Everything You Should Do to Address API Security, which is a compilation of all their latest research on the subject. More importantly, it maps out the key domains that you need to be aware of, and invest in, if you take your API security posture seriously. With that said, I found it quite interesting how well aligned their API security domains are to the Noname API Security portfolio.

Application programming interfaces (APIs) are becoming increasingly important for businesses to stay competitive in the digital age. However, they can also be vulnerable to malicious threats if not properly secured. Therefore, it’s essential for businesses to take measures to enhance their API security posture and address any potential vulnerabilities.
