APIs are the digital gateway to modernization for legacy apps and to an ecosystem of innovation for modern apps.

But security has not kept pace with the proliferation of APIs. Teams struggle to balance risk, privacy, and compliance in development and operations—which can lead to security blind spots and API breaches.

APIs are vulnerable to the same exploits and abuse that target traditional web apps. This is in addition to unintended risk introduced by complex app designs and modern software development pipelines. Traditional API management and gateway solutions simply weren't designed to address modern API security challenges.
