APIs are everywhere! APIs: Security challenges and best practices  With APIs being used in so many ways, it is not surprising that the security of APIs has emerged as a critical concern.

The most common vulnerabilities found in modern applications today include SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), insecure direct object references (IDORs), etc., which can be exploited to steal data or take over accounts. However, with APIs becoming more ubiquitous across all layers of an application stack—from frontend web apps to backend microservices; from mobile apps to IoT devices; from partner integrations to public cloud services—the attack surface for API vulnerabilities has increased manifold
