Synpulse has collaborated with Aiculus, a cybersecurity firm specialising in API security, to design API security architecture frameworks for digital banks. In light of recent API breaches, this eBook highlights some crucial aspects of effective API security.
Application programming interfaces (APIs) have become an indispensable component of organisations’ technology stacks. They serve as a vital link, facilitating a seamless connection between different systems and enabling customers to interact with the organisations’ services. The importance of APIs has witnessed remarkable growth, making them a crucial element for organisations that leverage their capabilities.
Problem with the current API security
Many companies rely on a single layer of API security, typically using a web application firewall and an API gateway. However, this traditional approach is no longer effective, as recent statistics show that over 80% of API attacks occur beyond this initial defence. This highlights the need for a more comprehensive security strategy.1
