Understanding how passkeys fit into the existing landscape of security and authentication is what our ‘versus’ series is all about. The goal of authentication is to verify that the person trying to gain access to a secret (e.g. an account) has permission to access it.

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) act as bridges between applications so they can share data. APIs are fundamental to the complex, interconnected systems, enabling organizations to streamline business processes and reduce redundancies. REST APIs are easy to use and understand because they use the same noun- and verb-based format as HTTP. Simultaneously, attackers know how to manipulate this language, making REST APIs a common attack target.

One of the most common ways that hackers target organizations is by exploiting vulnerabilities in outdated software. Outdated software risks can leave you open to a variety of hacks, including ransomware, malware, data breaches, and more.
