What is API Pentesting, and Why is it Important?
Let’s break it down: API Pentesting (short for API penetration testing) is a process used to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your APIs. These tests uncover areas in your API security that might have been overlooked, giving insight into what vulnerabilities a hacker could exploit.
Why does this matter? Here’s why:
• APIs handle sensitive data: Whether it’s payment information or personal user data, APIs typically process and store critical information.
• APIs are prime targets for attackers: If an attacker gains access to your API, they can steal data, manipulate systems, and cause extensive damage.
This is why API pentesting is not just a luxury—it’s essential for any business that takes cybersecurity seriously.
