API Security Best Practices for Developers

In today's digital world, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are crucial for seamless software communication. However, this reliance on APIs brings significant security challenges, making them targets for malicious actors.

This blog post explores essential API security best practices, covering common vulnerabilities like injection attacks and broken authentication, and strategies such as implementing strong authentication mechanisms (OAuth, JWT), input validation, encryption, rate limiting, secure API design, monitoring, and regular security testing.
