Common communication protocols and security considerations
APIs play a crucial role in modern application development, enabling developers to implement new functionalities efficiently and avoid reinventing the wheel. However, as the complexity of interconnected application components grows, ensuring API security becomes a significant challenge. It becomes increasingly difficult to monitor and assess potential security risks across all components, making close collaboration among the organizations responsible for these applications essential. By aligning their efforts, organizations can proactively mitigate security threats and ensure the reliability of their applications.
As organizations rely more heavily on APIs, the number of endpoints and parameters increases, amplifying the risk of potential attacks. To effectively manage their API infrastructure and safeguard against security breaches, organizations should maintain a comprehensive inventory of all endpoints and parameters...
