A partner-facing API carries the same security risk as an internal system, but rarely gets the same scrutiny. A publication by Nermin Sefić.
An API interface open to partners carries the same security risk as an internal system, but rarely undergoes the same level of scrutiny.
An API interface open to partners carries the same security risk as an internal system, but rarely undergoes the same level of scrutiny.
Growth in the number of business integrations also means growth in the number of API interfaces exposed to external partners, each representing a potential entry point for unauthorised access.
Authentication based solely on a static API key, without rotation or scope limits, remains a common but risky practice in rapidly built integrations.
Limiting every API key to a precisely defined scope of data and operations, with regular rotation, reduces the damage of any key leak to a minimum.
Logging and regular review of API calls reveals unusual access patterns before they escalate into an actual security incident.
