Attacks against APIs can range from discovering hidden, confidential endpoints to injection attacks against the underlying infrastructure. Due to their often-limited functionality, it’s often believed that they are not as important to test and protect. Because of this, they’re often a prime vector for attackers.
Scanning and manual testing will discover areas of weakness in your API, and from there we’ll provide clear instructions on how to fix them.

Everyone is a target
In 2022, a well know blogging site reported an API breach that exposed the Personal Identifiable Information of 5 million users. Since then, information of more than 200 million more users freely appeared on a breach forum. This resulted in the site being sued under a class-action lawsuit and being investigated for a GDPR breach.
This breach was due to an API that was not properly secured. If one of the largest social media companies in the world can have a breach like this, so can anyone.
This breach was easily avoidable if the API had been properly secured. A thorough penetration test can help find these areas of weakness and assure security measures
Other services
Mobile Application Testing
86% of mobile applications have at least one vulnerability violating the OWASP Top 10. If these issues are exploited by cyber criminals or malicious users, it can have serious implications for an organisation, in terms of both cost and reputational damage.
Product Assessment
If you develop a software product or service, are you confident that it’s as secure as it can be? Your clients rely on you to keep their data secure, so if you’ve not had your product or service independently assessed, your reputation is at risk if a vulnerability is discovered.
