API Security
Protect your APIs with a positive security model that detects vulnerabilities and shields from exploitation
Flaws in business logic design can leave applications and APIs open to attack and put sensitive data at risk. Imperva offers a complete set of capabilities to fully secure your business against business logic abuse.
Forrester’s recommendations for scaling your API security strategy
Imperva partnered with the Marsh McLennan Cyber Risk Analytics Center to analyze API-related incident data
Imperva looks closely at the relationship between bad bots, online fraud, and API insecurity
Business logic abuse is difficult to detect and prevent as attackers mimic legitimate behavior to manipulate the application’s intended logic for malicious purposes.
Imitating normal behavior enables attackers to stay below the security radar. A firewall or intrusion detection system is not enough to prevent business logic abuse.
APIs are at risk if their business logic is not properly designed, implemented or secured. Attackers manipulate API design flaws to cause disruption or access sensitive data.
Account takeover, transaction fraud, spamming, scalping and web scraping are examples of how attackers use automation to conduct business logic abuse.
Client-side attacks target compromised third-party javascript to inject malicious code and capture user data during online transactions.
Protecting against the growing number of targeted attacks is more challenging with multiple security solutions.
Discover, detect and prevent business logic abuse.
Detects and blocks SQL injection attacks, denial of service attacks and authentication bypass attempts to deter attackers intent on business logic abuse.
Uses continuous API discovery and risk classification to safeguard sensitive data by giving full visibility into your APIs and their associated risk.
Provides maximum security by identifying which APIs are processing sensitive data and in need of Advanced Bot Protection.
Offers visibility into third-party JavaScript code in compliance with PCI DSS 4.0 regulatory guidance on how payment page scripts should be managed.
Offers a mature, unified application security platform to ensure comprehensive protection against business logic attacks and other evolving threats.
Business logic abuse targets the core functionality within an application by mimicking legitimate traffic to avoid detection.
Business logic is unique to each application, making it difficult for traditional security tools to have predefined signatures or patterns that can detect an attack.
Business logic abuse relies on understanding and exploiting the specific logic of an application, making it highly context-dependent.
Business logic abuse involves a series of complex, intricate interactions within an application. By exploiting an application’s legitimate functionalities, bad actors can carry out an attack under the guise of being a genuine user.
Business logic abuse typically does not contain known external indicators, such as network traffic anomalies of known malicious IP addresses.
