Blog: Authentication, Authorization, and API Enablement

APIs need to be treated with the same cautions that are applied to human users. Each must have an identity, and that identity must be protected against attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in authentication, authorization, and session management. Topics covered in this blog:

  • APIs Are Strategy, Not Software
  • How APIs Introduce Risk
  • Best Practices for API Enablement
