By 2022, API attacks became the most-frequent attack vector, causing data breaches for enterprise web applications.\u00a0 Yet despite years of investment in traditional application security solutions (WAF, SAST &amp; DAST etc.) and more recently API gateways, the attacks continue to breach these defenses with increasing financial costs and brand reputational damage. APIs cannot be treated like applications and are subject to a different range of attacks and vulnerabilities as identified by the OWASP API Top 10. Ops and security teams lack a systematic way to spot, prevent and respond to API-based attacks.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging2022.42crunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Quote-from-eBook2-1024x625.png\" alt=\"Quote from eBook2\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"625\" width=\"1024\" title=\"Quote from eBook2\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging2022.42crunch.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/AdobeStock_53105665_1920-1024x684.jpeg\" alt=\"Decision button with the words wait and act, button arrow pointing to the word action. 3D render, concept image for proactivity\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"684\" width=\"1024\" title=\"Decision Aids, Concept Image.

No longer can security rely on obscurity, manually configured rules, or hope that some anomaly detection can report an attack. By leveraging the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) as the de-facto standard to create an API contract which describes what the API will accept and what will be rejected a proactive approach can be adopted.<\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tFocus on Boosting Productivity <br \/>&#038; Reducing Risk\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p>With over a million developers using 42Crunch, we are the #1 API security company in the market. <a href=\"https:\/\/platform.42crunch.com\/login\">Our API security platform<\/a>\u00a0helps developers code security earlier into the SDLC and frees security teams up to manage and guide the security policy enforcement process at every stage of the API lifecycle.
