A new survey highlights what application security professionals view as the top security risks related to Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).
The 2023 SANS Survey on API Security, released by Akamai Technologies, Inc., found that less than 50% of respondents have API security testing tools in place and 29% have API discovery tools. The report also finds that taking advantage of API security controls that are included in DDoS and load balancing services is "an underutilized area” with 29% of respondents reporting using these features.
