In this Help Net Security interview, Tal Steinherz, CTO at Wib, talks about the importance of API security awareness and how to tackle numerous thretas that are plaguing it.

API security is widely being considered, yet breaches continue to plague many organizations.

Understanding who and what threatens APIs is the first step to better assess the risk.

How can API security awareness help tackle these growing threats?

In order to boost awareness of API threats it is recommended to follow media publications about relevant breaches that are associated with APIs in light of recent statistics stating that 9 out of 10 companies report API security incidents, and above all Gartner's prediction that API would become the no.

A comprehensive API security solution should better have both the functionality to statically scan the code and dynamically simulate possible API attacks to detect vulnerabilities and suggest best practice for remediation before moving to production.
