Securing all your APIs is difficult. It’s even more complicated when your keys and tokens are exposed involuntarily in real-world settings, from APIs to frontends. Your organization is now prone to data breach risks and severe financial implications. E Com Security Solutions study reveals that API secret sprawl extends across various websites, industries, and domain [...]
APIs come in many flavours, including REST, SOAP, graphQL, gRPC, and WebSockets, and each has its use cases and common vulnerabilities. The issues covered in this guide can occur in any API. Regardless of which technology you have used to implement your API, read on to find out what you can do today to address [...]
One of the key reasons for application vulnerabilities is a lack of secure design, development, implementation, and operations. Relying solely on post-development audits for security is inadequate. Instead, security must be an inherent and integral aspect seamlessly integrated into the application's design and development lifecycle. Organizations should incorporate secured application development practices, and application owners [...]
Application security is a multilayered approach that requires a combination of technical controls, secure development practices, user awareness, and proactive monitoring. It should be considered at the earliest stage of the software development lifecycle. Threat modelling evaluates information affecting an application's security and organizes it into a structured representation to define effective countermeasures to mitigate [...]
There may be security mechanisms such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems protecting the network layer. However, Application-level threats and vulnerabilities may not be stopped or detected. Threat Modelling aims to optimize application security by analyzing potential threats, identifying countermeasures, and reducing fielded vulnerabilities. A good balance between security and usability is necessary. Below are [...]
