In our recent webinar recent webinar title 'A CISO’s Checklist for Securing APIs and Applications', we delved into the concept of creating an API security playground tailored for both developer and security teams. The core idea revolves around utilizing intentionally vulnerable APIs as training tools. In this blog post, we'll present a curated list of such APIs, each with its own unique set of characteristics. Some projects are built on REST architecture, while others utilize GraphQL, offering a variety of options to suit your organization's specific needs. These projects serve as invaluable resources for both security and development teams aiming to deepen their understanding of API security. By working with these intentionally flawed APIs, teams can practice identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities in a controlled environment. This hands-on approach not only enhances their technical skills but also prepares them for real-world scenarios where API security is crucial. Whether your team is new to API security or looking to sharpen their existing skills, these projects provide the perfect sandbox for experimentation and learning. By integrating these resources into your training regimen, you can foster a culture of security awareness and continuous improvement within your organization. crAPI from OWASP crAPI (Completely Ridiculous API) is an OWASP project that simulates an API-driven, microservice-based web application filled with vulnerabilities from the OWASP API…Read More
