An API interface open to partners carries the same risk as an internal system, yet 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 receives the same level of scrutiny.
An API interface open to partners carries the same security risk as an internal system, but rarely receives 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 restriction, remains a common but risky practice in rapidly developed integrations.
Limiting each API key to a precisely defined scope of data and operations, with regular rotation, minimises the damage from an eventual key leak.
Logging and regular review of API calls reveals unusual access patterns before they escalate into an actual security incident.
