API Security From Development to Runtime

Unlock the Truth About API Security in Today’s Modern Development Landscape

New ESG Research Reveals What’s Working—And What’s Not—In Securing APIs from Development to Runtime

Every API is a potential attack vector. And in today’s environment, attackers have no shortage of methods to exploit weaknesses—whether through availability attacks, weak authentication, or the growing threat of shadow APIs.

This new Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) report, based on a survey of 385 IT and cybersecurity professionals across North America, takes a deep dive into the current state of API security—uncovering the critical gaps, collaboration challenges, and best practices organizations are using to protect APIs throughout the software lifecycle.

What You'll Learn:

  • How modern application development is driving API growth—and risk
  • The top challenges organizations face in securing APIs across development, deployment, and runtime
  • Insights into API security roles and responsibilities across Dev, Sec, and Ops teams
  • Why tool sprawl and poor collaboration are undermining security efforts
  • What forward-thinking companies are doing differently—and how to evaluate security solutions effectively

Why It Matters:

APIs power digital experiences—but without the right security practices in place, they can quickly become your biggest liability. This report provides data-driven insights to help security leaders and DevSecOps teams close the gaps and build a proactive API security strategy.
