Security is critical for a successful API Economy where devices, services, identities, and data are exposed via APIs. API Security is a critical aspect of producing and consuming APIs to protect against threat and compromise. The field of API Security goes well beyond simple access control as it must also consider the actual security of data in motion and at rest which means that the security technology must support encryption, signatures, continuous authentication, auditing, and much more.
API Security has been recognized by OWASP as a significant exposure that should be addressed while deploying APIs. The Top 10 List published by OWASP details the threats and recommended mitigation.
The Forum Sentry product technology protects against all OWASP Top 10 API Threats for assured security in your API architecture.
