Building API Security Standards: A Practitioners Guide

This guide provides a strong framework for implementing and maintaining rigorous API security measures, offering organizations a roadmap to navigate the complexities of API security, and ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive data.

Some of the topics covered are:
  • Authorization: Secure mechanisms like JWT or OAuth 2.0, fine-grained access control.
  • Data Exposure: Data encryption at rest and in transit, input/output validation, HTTPS.
  • Denial of Service: Rate limiting, traffic monitoring, DDoS mitigation.
  • API Security Governance: Robust framework, clear roles and responsibilities, regular assessments.

By following these standards, organizations can proactively protect their APIs from unauthorized access, data breaches, and malicious attacks. This guide is essential for anyone involved in developing, deploying, or managing APIs.
