91% of organizations had an API security incident last year
Salt Security released the results of its API security report titled, “The State of API Security – Q1 2021.” Among its findings, the report revealed that 66% of organizations admit to having slowed the rollout of a new application into production because of API security concerns. In addition, 54% of organizations running production APIs have at best only a basic strategy for API security, with 27% having no strategy at all. The report combines survey results with customer data from Salt’s API security SaaS service, and the findings make clear that, despite the critical role APIs have in enabling revenue and innovation, companies of all sizes lack sufficient API security.
