Did you know that 80% of attacks companies like Akamai Technologies are seeing involve API?
What’s an API? What once was a quick way to integrate systems but minimally used, now has exploded onto federal networks by the thousands thanks to the popularity of cloud use.
Why worry? APIs are small and embedded and could be as minimal as a single line of code. However, their impact is powerful, and a weak point can have an impressive impact.
How do we protect federal data? In this week’s episode of Feds At the Edge, we’ve gathered agency and industry experts who share how software developers should be “baking in” protection from the start, and how sloppy code can lead to Vampire APIs that take on a new life, rewritten to serve malicious actors and their purpose. Tune in on your favorite platform now to hear more on protecting APIs, including a checklist from NIST that will help you understand code origin.
