API Security: Protecting Your Data

Application programming interfaces (APIs) are everywhere. They’re used to power everything from mobile apps to cloud-based services. And as APIs become more and more ubiquitous, so too does the risk of API security breaches. In fact, a recent study by the Ponemon Institute found that the average cost of a data breach involving APIs is now over $4 million. That’s a significant increase from just a few years ago, and it’s a trend that’s only going to continue in the future.
