API Security Testing

The vulnerability in an application programming interface (API) can be just as serious as one found in any other system and can be just as damaging, depending on the circumstances. API testing validates the security of your methods and data. Data is securely transferred from web applications or mobile applications to other systems or databases while maintaining the functionality of the business logic.

API penetration testing is vital because APIs are embedded in almost all web applications and mobile applications. By focusing your testing on both web application security and API security during the development lifecycle as well as patching known API vulnerabilities, you will reduce the likelihood that an attacker will compromise your application. Regular updates and frequent testing of your web API will help ensure dependable performance and avoid costly remediation.

APIs are often documented with information about their implementation and internal structure - making them an excellent target for an attacker looking to compromise them. The additional variables make APIs vulnerable regardless of the implementation approach (SOAP, REST). All three elements should be verified (authentication, encryption, and business logic).
