API Security Testing
APIs form the backbone of modern microservices and SaaS products. They are also prime targets for unauthorized access, data leakage, and injection attacks.
Complex API Ecosystems:
Multiple endpoints, versions, and external integrations.
Security Blind Spots:
Traditional web app scanners may miss logic flaws or hidden endpoints.
Compliance Pressures:
GDPR, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA require robust data protection, including API traffic.
