A report released this week by OpinionMatters and commissioned by Noname Security found that more than three out of four senior cybersecurity professionals in the US and UK said that their organization had experienced at least one API-related security incident within the last 12 months.
A similar number, 74%, said that they had not completed a full inventory of all APIs in their systems, or have full knowledge of which ones could return sensitive data. The most common security gaps identified were dormant APIs—APIs that have been ostensibly replaced but remain in operation—authorization vulnerabilities, and web application firewalls.
