APIs play a crucial role in enabling digitization and financial inclusion.

Every connected mobile app, every website and every application deployed on a cloud service uses APIs. They provide the foundation for modernization and help organizations build successful business ecosystems). The number of APIs within organizations is growing rapidly in every departments and in lines of business and are going through a sea change due to ever changing market dynamics.

API security is less focused on the APIs you consume that are provided by other parties . For example, in large organizations, different departments may develop their own applications & services with their own APIs. Also, through mergers and acquisitions or third party services, eventually ending up with multiple API stacks or API silos.

Are you aware of shadow, Hidden API ? Do you have full visibility of API business logic behind call/argument?

You can’t secure what you’re not aware of. API discovery is a race between API providers and hackers who will easily exploit the APIs when found. API silos affect API visibility by having partial lists of APIs, under disconnected governance. Are we following Zero trust model on API?

Another obstacle to API visibility is the rogue or shadow API. Shadow APIs happen when an API is developed as part of an application but the API itself is considered an implementation detail of the application and is only known by a close-knit group of developers. Shadow APIs are not on the radar of security operatives because they don’t have visibility into the implementation details.
