Neosec Covers Every OWASP API Top 10 Vulnerability (Blog)

by Neosec Team on April 22, 2022

Digital transformation is behind the tremendous increase in API rollouts, enabling organizations to remain relevant and accelerate their business. APIs present new security risks, because APIs differ from software facing mainstream threats:

APIs are published with no control over their use by clients, opening up an abuse mechanism.
Many API use cases are machine-to-machine communication, rendering bot protections less effective.
Organizations’ API estates change constantly as part of CI/CD strategies.

API Security Challenges & Neosec

API security presents several security challenges: First, many security teams lack experience with either APIs or their vulnerabilities. Second, the expansive growth of API deployments compromises visibility into the API landscape, Finally, APIs face both vulnerabilities and abuse. For the former, we can focus our attention on the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) API Top 10 Vulnerabilities. The OWASP API top 10 vulnerabilities are detected by the Neosec platform using a combination of signature matching and behavioral detection models.
