Synthetic oil PALO ALTO, Calif., March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Neosec, the pioneer in discovering and identifying API threats using behavioral analytics with its API Detection and Response solution, today announced insights into a report it co-sponsored with Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) entitled, API Security: Debunking the Myths. The report indicates that there is a "remarkable disconnect between perception and reality" in today's API security practices versus the reality of security challenges. In particular, most organizations lack the ability to discover and document all APIs they currently have in use, leaving them with no way to protect them. In addition, organizations are focused on external, consumer, internet-facing APIs and leave internal, authenticated B2B APIs unaddressed. The gap has created a false sense of security in what an organization believes about their API security posture.
Key Points:
- The report indicates that there is a "remarkable disconnect between perception and reality" in today's API security practices versus the reality of security challenges.
- In addition, organizations are focused on external, consumer, internet-facing APIs and leave internal, authenticated B2B APIs unaddressed.
- The gap has created a false sense of security in what an organization believes about their API security posture.
- The study by EMA confirms that every organization (98.7% of respondents) exposes applications to the internet via APIs and 98.3% see an increase in API usage.
