The challenge of API inventory starts with knowing the scope of the problem
Many of today’s web attacks are evolving and bypassing security, entering at API layers that may not even be on the radar of security teams.
-
Visibility into every API is limited
As new applications are deployed, APIs are not always documented in an OpenAPI (Swagger) file so security is not able to protect them.
-
Data governance is difficult
From mobile to cloud-native applications, developers are rapidly providing access to sensitive data that requires governance which needs to extend to APIs that access it.
-
Current security solutions insufficient
Organizations need the OWASP API Security Top 10 inclusive of Business Object Level Authorization and Business Functional Level Authorization to properly protect APIs.
Continuous discovery of APIs and data classification.
A holistic solution offers end-to-end continuous visibility while automatically collecting and identifying detailed data schema that outlines sensitive data.
-
API discovery at the speed of DevOps
APIs come online rapidly and change without notice, the right solution identifies each API (public, backend, shadow and zombie) and when they change.
-
Data classification that aids governance
Knowing which data is shared over APIs is the first step to keeping data access by APIs in alignment with data privacy regulations.
-
Stopping advanced attacks that look and act like normal access
All attacks are not created equal and advanced attacks that target the business logic of an application can enable bots to steal your customer data without ever alerting you.
