API Security Scanning

API security scanning identifies vulnerabilities in APIs to protect sensitive data and ensure system availability. It helps prevent data breaches, service disruptions, regulatory violations, and reputational damage.

The main types include Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to analyze source code; Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST) for runtime vulnerabilities; and Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST), which combines both SAST and DAST with real-time vulnerability feedback.

It addresses issues such as injection attacks (SQL, XSS), broken object level authorization, improper authentication, sensitive data exposure, and security misconfigurations in API settings.

Best practices include integrating scans into the development lifecycle, combining scanning techniques (SAST, DAST, IAST), prioritizing based on risk, keeping tools updated, training developers, conducting pentests, and monitoring API usage.

ImmuniWeb® offers automated scanning with continuous monitoring, comprehensive vulnerability detection, threat intelligence integration, regulatory compliance assessment, prioritized remediation guidance, and integration with other security tools.

It improves API security posture, ensures compliance, reduces business disruption risk, and boosts customer trust by proactively managing vulnerabilities.
