Free API security assessment
Businesses turn to APIs because they represent a convenient way to develop consistent, reliable application infrastructure.

But when not managed carefully, they may provide an attack surface for bad actors. More often than not, APIs are transmitting sensitive data introducing potential compliance implications. Namely, organisations may end up out of compliance with key industry and regional regulations due to unaddressed API issues.

The importance of strong API governance

Why should data governance efforts include APIs? In short, because the risk of data exposure and noncompliance through APIs is real and present. Adopting a suitable API governance model can help an organization safeguard its data as API creation and use both increase.

According to the most recent Cequence research on API usage, exposure of sensitive data through API vulnerabilities rose by 87% relative to previous studies. When the information in question is regulated, such as payment card information, this could cause organisations to fall out of compliance with important frameworks such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
