Applications have been powered by APIs for years, but heavier focuses on automation and cloud-native design are greatly affecting the security landscape. APIs are at the heart of any business regardless of industry and are increasing in both volume and capabilities. Hackers realize the vital role APIs have in connecting critical data and services, and so have increased their focus on attacking APIs. Old ways of thinking about API security must change too.
