API Penetration Testing: Why Should You Care?

APIs are ubiquitous across modern application environments, making them an enticing target for bad actors looking to compromise other systems or pivot within your networks. A focused API penetration testing program looks for vulnerabilities in how your APIs are designed, implemented and configured to prevent attackers from using APIs as an access point to get a foothold in your organization.

How Much Risk Can APIs Expose You To?

APIs regularly handle a large volume of sensitive data, such as payment card industry (PCI) and personal identifiable information (PII) and are also an access point further into your environment. Untested APIs can leave the door wide open for unauthorized access and data exfiltration — data scraping is one example of how attackers can gain access, unnoticed, to sensitive data. It is essential for APIs to be tested regularly to catch these issues before your business is exposed.

Common Vulnerabilities API Pen Testing Can Detect

Insufficient Security Configuration
Authentication and Authorization Challenges
HTTP Header Injection
Input Validation Errors
Insufficient Logging

Agile Pen Testing: A New Paradigm for Application Security

Agile pen testing, or continuous pen testing, is a method for integrating regular testing into your software development lifecycle (SDLC), rather than testing at infrequent points in time.

Whereas, traditional pen testing impacts product release cycles, Agile pen testing works with your release schedule to ensure that new features are secure and don’t translate into risk for your customers.
