Security News > 2021 > November > Predicting the Next OWASP API Security Top 10

API security risk has dramatically evolved in the last two years.

Jason Kent, Hacker-in-Residence at Cequence Security, discusses the top API security concerns today and how to address them.

API authentication and authorization error-related security incidents are nearly as common as security misconfigurations, justifying the placement at the top of the list.

The reason for the frequency is that API security misconfigurations are something that most organizations aren't instrumented to look for.

As APIs have become more foundational, understanding the architecture and specifically the security of each part of the API is critical.

API visibility and asset management should be a cornerstone of all API security initiatives.
