As critical building blocks of modern applications, it’s clear that APIs are here to stay. As one of the most appealing attacker targets and fastest-growing facets of your attack surface, it’s also clear that APIs need protection.

In this eBook, you’ll learn:

• How to discover and document internally and externally facing APIs
• How to protect APIs
• How to measure the success and report the effectiveness of your API security program
