Weak authentication allows attackers to bypass security, leading to unauthorized access.
Sensitive data can be exposed if not properly encrypted, risking interception by attackers.
Without rate limiting, attackers can overwhelm your API with excessive requests, causing disruptions.
Ensuring that only authorized users or systems can access the API. This can be achieved through techniques like API keys, OAuth tokens, or other forms of authentication.
Once a user or system is authenticated, ensuring that they have the appropriate permissions to access specific resources or perform certain actions within the API. Role-based access control (RBAC) and attribute-based access control (ABAC) are common authorization mechanisms.
Protecting data transmitted between clients and the API server by using encryption techniques such as HTTPS/TLS to prevent eavesdropping and tampering.
Validating and sanitizing input data to prevent common security vulnerabilities such as injection attacks (e.g., SQL injection, XSS).
Implementing rate limiting to prevent abuse and mitigate denial-of-service (DoS) attacks by limiting the number of requests a client can make within a certain timeframe.
Logging API requests and responses to track and monitor access patterns, detect potential security incidents, and facilitate forensic analysis.
Using an API gateway to centralize API management and security functions such as authentication, authorization, rate limiting, and logging.
Conducting regular security assessments, including penetration testing and vulnerability scanning, to identify and remediate security weaknesses in the API.
Following secure coding practices and incorporating security into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to minimize the risk of introducing vulnerabilities into the API codebase.
Implementing security controls throughout the API lifecycle, from design and development to deployment and decommissioning, to ensure consistent protection against evolving threats.
