Security News > 2022 > January > API security: Understanding the next top attack vector
While traditional application security controls remain necessary, they are not quite up to the API security challenge.
There are certain basic API security practices organizations can implement to create a more resilient API security posture.
Without visibility into the nature and scope of its API deployments, an organization will find itself hamstrung at the earliest stage in attempting to tackle its API security risk.
Another challenge facing security practitioners when implementing API security programs are unclear roles and responsibilities for security teams.
Teams need to be given specific responsibilities regarding API security maintenance to ensure that nuanced differences between APIs are addressed.
The road ahead. 2022 will be the year of the API security "Arms race," as security teams and hackers alike bring more sophisticated technologies to the playing field.
