Hacker Simulations secures APIs through advanced pentesting methodologies, following industry standards such as OWASP Top 10. We ensure that your APIs are thoroughly tested for vulnerabilities, providing a robust defense against potential threats.
Our commitment extends beyond conventional standards, employing dynamic approaches to comprehensively identify and address security risks specific to your API environment.
APIs: Key Players in Cybersecurity
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) enable seamless communication between different software applications.
Think of APIs like messengers that help different apps talk to each other. They allow software to share information smoothly. Securing APIs is important to make sure this communication is safe, protecting data and ensuring he integrity of transactions.
Testing Methodology
Common Vulnerabilities:
- Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR)
- Broken Authentication
- Insecure Data Storage
- Lack of Rate Limiting
- Improper Error Handling
- Inadequate Authorization
