APIs have revolutionized every industry. They fuel digital transformation and power the web, making up more than 83% of global internet traffic. And API adoption will only grow, with AI, Web3, and decentralization only further driving API usage and integration. But these sometimes-overlooked enablers of connectivity and communication present a serious security challenge: APIs are increasingly in the crosshairs of cyber-attackers.
