API Security and Beyond
APIs are key components in any digital transformation journey. They enable organizations to create new business models and connect with partners and customers, while also providing seamless digital experiences by linking systems and services together.
However, for these interactions to be meaningful, they must be secure. Therefore, API security is of utmost importance.
