From Requests to Risk: How Modern API Threat Detection Finds What Scanners Miss
APIs are the backbone of modern applications, powering cloud services, mobile apps, and partner integrations. They enable seamless data exchange, automated workflows, and real-time communication across systems. However, this connectivity also expands the attack surface, making APIs a prime target for malicious actors. Traditional security scanners, which rely heavily on signatures and static checks, often fail to detect sophisticated or subtle API threats.

How Missing API Visibility Creates Security Gaps in FinTech
Introduction In the fast-paced world of financial technology, APIs power almost every transaction, integration, and customer interaction. They connect internal services, third-party partners, and external platforms to deliver seamless experiences. However, with this complexity comes a critical risk: missing API visibility. When organizations cannot see or fully understand all their API endpoints, undocumented APIs, or dynamic connections, hidden security gaps emerge that can be exploited by attackers.
