In the current economic environment, IT and security leaders face significant challenges. Budget optimization and prioritizing initiatives that provide real business value are crucial, particularly amidst a growingly complex and threatening threat landscape. This pressure is especially pronounced when it comes to securing the APIs essential for modern applications and linking vital data. APIs serve as the foundation of digital innovation, yet their swift expansion results in an extensive attack surface. Development teams often operate rapidly, occasionally sidestepping standard security evaluations, leading to undocumented shadow APIs and outdated zombie APIs hiding within your environment. The task of manually identifying these APIs, ensuring compliance, and defending against sophisticated attacks can seem daunting, especially with limited resources. How can you improve security and manage costs simultaneously?
