WAAPs are more advanced than WAFs, and play an important role in an organization’s larger API security strategy, but still don’t and can’t holistically solve the problem of API security.

In general, most API data breaches are usually the result of one or a combination of four different attack scenarios.

Technology has advanced incredibly fast in the automotive field, and manufacturers are developing new applications quickly to capitalize on the endless possibilities. But what about security?

Third-party APIs contribute to a sprawling API attack surface and can be a security risk if they are not properly inventoried, governed, tested, monitored, or maintained.

With the industry moving to microservices and API-driven applications, new security threats and attack vectors have emerged. The PCI Security Standards Council has worked to address these threats in its newest PCI DSS 4.0 standard.

It’s not enough to find and block attackers exploiting a vulnerability in your API. You will also want to remediate the security gap in your APIs.
