Most organisations spend serious money on firewalls, endpoint protection, and threat monitoring. Yet one of the most commonly exploited attack surfaces gets far less attention: the APIs quietly running underneath almost every modern application. APIs are the connective tissue of today's digital infrastructure. They allow apps to talk to each other, enable third-party integrations, and power the real-time data exchanges that businesses depend on daily. They are also a favourite target for attackers who know that many organisations have not secured them properly.

When we think about cyberattacks, we often imagine a scene from a movie where someone in a dark room is typing 300 words per minute to bypass a firewall. The reality of cybersecurity is a lot more boring, and in a way, more dangerous. Most major data breaches today start with very mundane access paths. We're talking about basic credential theft, simple phishing emails, or weak account recovery flows that a teenager could figure out. Misconfigurations in cloud storage-where someone simply forgets to lock the digital door-routinely cause more damage than exotic, high-tech exploits.
