API Channels Become Security Holes in Data Leaks
Application programming interfaces are being identified as a growing weak point in data breaches. Security reporting warns that poorly protected API channels can expose sensitive customer data, letting attackers pull information directly from connected systems. Companies are being urged to tighten authentication, monitoring and access controls on their APIs as breaches increasingly trace back to these interfaces rather than traditional endpoints.
Why now: Rising data breaches traced to insecure APIs are prompting renewed warnings about API security.
