API Security

This section consits of best practices, security checklists, common vulnerability writeups and other API security related content.

API security is the protection of the integrity of APIs—both owned and in-use API services. APIs are one of the most common ways that microservices and containers communicate including systems and associated applications. As integration and interconnectivity become more important, APIs play a vital part in the security of these microservices.

In this section, we will include content that will reflect best security practices including but not limited to the following content:

• API Security Checklist

• API Security Assessment Tools

  • Summary and Usage of these Tools

• API Common Vulnerability Blocks

I will try my best to update each of these sections with the latest updates and references, on the best opportunities as possible.
