APIs play a pivotal role in enabling digital transformation by facilitating seamless integration between systems, streamlining data exchange, and enhancing the agility needed to adopt new technologies. However, with surge in API adoption comes the risk of vulnerabilities like Zombie APIs (outdated, unmonitored endpoints) and Shadow APIs (undocumented endpoints outside governance). These vulnerable APIs contribute to increased data breaches and compliance fines, with 78% of organizations experiencing API security incidents last year and attacks rising by 400%.

APIs that are not properly maintained result in operational inefficiencies, security flaws, and compliance problems. Traditional security tools often overlook these hidden APIs, making them susceptible to cyberattacks.  Strict governance, AI-based behavioral analysis, Zero Trust regulations, automated API discovery, real-time monitoring, and integrating security early in the development process are all examples of effective solutions.
