API SECURITY AND UNIFIED API PROTECTION FAQ

What is API Security?
API security is the practice of protecting your application programming
interfaces (API) from threats and vulnerability exploits that may lead to data
loss, fraud, and business disruption. API security should entail three basic
principles: API discovery, risk and threat detection and, remediation and
mitigation of the risks and threats.



API security initiatives must begin with the discovery and inventory of all APIs
managed, unmanaged, shadow, zombie, third-party, internal and external. Once the
APIs are discovered and inventoried the next phase of API security can begin.



API risk and threat detection is the next phase of the API security journey. API
risks are coding errors that could result in the exposure of a vulnerability.
Runtime API analysis can uncover these risks. API threats are vulnerability
exploits and business logic attacks. These types of attacks are difficult to
detect, requiring an added level of analysis – either human, computer assisted
or both.



API security entails risk remediation and threat mitigation uncovered in the
detection phase. Remediation means notifying development of the risk detected
and confirming the fix through continuous analysis and testing. Threat
mitigation requires real-time responses without the need to signal a WAF or
other tool.



What is Unified API Protection?
Unified API Protection is the practice of protecting your application
programming interfaces (API) from threats and vulnerability exploits throughout
the API protection lifecycle: API discovery, inventory, risk analysis and
compliance, security testing, threat detection, and threat mitigation. Unified
API Protection goes beyond the using point products to address individual
phases, such as compliance or testing, along with legacy security technologies
to protect your APIs.



Unified API Protection begins with the discovery and inventory of all
public-facing APIs along with their associated resources. Then using that
inventory to continually track all APIs – managed, unmanaged, shadow, zombie,
third-party, internal and external.



Unified API Protection continues with compliance, accomplished by analyzing APIs
to enforce OpenAPI specification conformance, and adherence to government
regulations like PCI. Compliance also entails continuous risk assessment to find
coding errors quickly. Unified API Protection solutions include threat detection
to find vulnerability exploits and business logic attacks.



Finally, Unified API Protection solutions also include threat mitigation and API
security testing. Threat mitigation means using alerts, real-time blocking and
even deception for attack response, without the need to signal third-party
tools. API security testing uses API specific test cases to help security and
development teams uncover and remediate errors before they become security
incidents.



What are the types of API Security?
The types of API security solutions available can include API gateways, web
application firewalls (WAF), API specific security tools and Unified API
Protection. It’s important to understand how each of these tools addresses an
organizations’ API security requirements, which typically entail API discovery,
threat and risk detection followed by mitigation and remediation.



The first type of API security are API gateways, which are designed to aggregate
and manage APIs. API gateways include basic security functions such as rate
limiting and IP block lists. API gateways are unable to proactively discover
APIs and do not perform threat detection, risk analysis, remediation or
mitigation.



The next type of API security is a WAF, which is web focused and do not perform
automated API discovery, or uncover coding errors. WAFs use signatures to detect
known vulnerabilities found in the OWASP Web Application Top 10 Threats list.



The third type of API security is an API specific toolset which focuses on
helping development produce APIs with fewer errors. These tools fall short of
addressing the complete set of API security requirements defined above.



The most complete type of API security is a Unified API Protection solution,
complete with API discovery, threat and risk detection followed by mitigation
and remediation. Unified API Protection goes beyond using point products to
address individual phases, such as compliance or testing, along with legacy
security technologies to protect your APIs.



What are common API Security Risks?
Common API security risks are those defined by the Open Web Application Security
Project (OWASP) API Security Top 10, business logic attacks, known informally as
OWASP API 10+ and coding errors that are exploited by attackers.



Common API security defined by the OWASP API Security top 10 list include a
threat definition and how to address them. Examples include sensitive data
exposure, authentication errors, resource and rate limiting. A top 10 list means
there are many others, so it’s important to use OWASP API Top 10 as a starting
point.



A common API security risk often overlooked is business logic abuse, or attacks
on perfectly coded APIs. Known informally as OWASP API 10+, this category
encompasses the different ways perfectly coded APIs are attacked using
techniques outside of the OWASP API Security Top 10. Examples include large
scale shopping bots, enumeration attacks and account takeovers – all against
properly coded APIs.



The last group of common API security risks are unknown vulnerability exploits
caused by API coding errors. . This group of API security risks places
significant emphasis on API testing as well as continuous threat detection and
mitigation to protect the improperly coded API while a fix is rolled out.
