What matters in the enterprise API world.
API Security Posture Management: What It Is and Why It Matters
API security posture management (ASPM) is the practice of continuously measuring and improving the security state of an API portfolio. It aggregates signals from authentication coverage, transport security, rate limiting, threat detection, and endpoint exposure into a posture score that can be tracked over time. Unlike periodic security scans, ASPM provides continuous visibility so teams can detect when posture degrades, not just assess it at a point in time.
Account Takeover Prevention via APIs: What to Monitor
Account takeover (ATO) prevention is the set of controls and monitoring practices that stop attackers from authenticating as legitimate users or exploiting authenticated sessions. At the API layer, it covers rate limiting on authentication endpoints, behavioral monitoring to detect suspicious session patterns, and post-authentication anomaly detection that identifies compromised sessions even after the authentication boundary has been crossed.
API Security Tools: What to Evaluate and How
API security tools protect the API surface from unauthorized access, abuse, and exploitation. They span five categories: gateways (policy enforcement, rate limiting, authentication verification), WAFs (attack signature filtering at the network edge), DAST/penetration testing tools (active attack simulation against deployed APIs), API security posture management platforms (continuous runtime visibility, behavioral anomaly detection, posture scoring), and unified platforms that cover security alongside observability, governance, and documentation from a single integration.
API Strategy: How to Build, Scale, and Govern an API Program
An API strategy is the set of deliberate decisions that determine how an organization creates, manages, and extracts value from APIs. It answers the questions that every team building an API would otherwise answer differently: Who is the consumer? How do we version? What does deprecation look like? What security baseline applies to every API? How do we know if an API is succeeding? Without a strategy, those questions get answered ad hoc, and the answer compounds into a portfolio that's inconsistent, hard to govern, and harder to scale.
API Maturity Model: How to Assess and Advance Your API Program
An API maturity model is a structured framework for assessing where an API program stands across dimensions like design, documentation, security, and governance. It identifies what the program needs to do differently to advance. An API maturity model is a diagnostic tool and a planning aid, not a certification or a competition.
OWASP LLM Top 10: What It Means for API Security
The OWASP LLM Top 10 introduces a new set of security risks that emerge when large language models are exposed through APIs. This guide explains each category from an API security perspective, showing how threats like prompt injection, sensitive data disclosure, and supply chain vulnerabilities manifest at the API layer—and how teams can detect, monitor, and mitigate them.
