3. Monitor for Suspicious Activity and Logging Leaks

API security is only as good as the tools used to monitor it, so organizations must ensure that they have a comprehensive monitoring solution in place. This includes looking for suspicious activity such as repeated failed login attempts or unusual spikes in traffic from an unknown source. It also requires keeping tabs on which users are accessing APIs, how often they’re using them and what kinds of data they’re requesting or modifying. These logs can be invaluable when investigating potential breaches or unauthorized access attempts by malicious actors who may have stolen API keys or otherwise gained unauthorized access to systems through other means
