The average API breach leads to at least 10 times more leaked data than the average security breach.
According to Gartner®, “Cybersecurity attacks that use APIs as an attack vector constitute a major threat to organizations and their sensitive data. This Market Guide can help security and risk management leaders understand which specialized products can assist in securing their organization’s APIs, and how.”*

- APIs (especially shadow and dormant ones) are causing data breaches.
- Security leaders require additional capabilities to protect their APIs.
- API protection products provide discovery, posture mgmt and runtime protection.
- Continuous posture mgmt over the inventoried APIs to find and fix exposures.
