Often thought of as a bottleneck to rapid API delivery, there is now a wide acceptance of the key role security must play<\/a> at all stages of the development lifecycle to ensure that APIs are compliant with security policies before, during and after deployment.<\/p>\n

However, enforcing API security compliance at scale in a large enterprise goes well beyond the capabilities of traditional application testing tools, web application firewalls and API gateways. Security cannot rely on these tools to understand the API context or to manually configure rules for the volume of microservices and APIs involved, or hope that some anomaly detection can report an attack.

Having assisted CISOs and heads of application security at many global enterprises with their API security challenges we have identified the following key challenges common to all businesses:<\/p>\n
