Reports

API Security Testing Reports

The API Vulnerability Scanner Report shows you how our automated tool tests, identifies, classifies, and provides remediation advice while saving manual security checks and pentest budget hours.

Extensive API Vulnerability Scan Findings

The report starts with a vulnerability overview of the scan target, the severity of the exposed API vulnerabilities, and a checklist of the exploited attack vectors and status of the executed scanners.

Remediation Advice for API Vulnerabilities

Each found vulnerability features a risk classification, explanation, and advice on fixing the issue.

API Findings Checklist

For easy marking of which exposure in your API is already fixed or noted.

Continuous API Security

Why Continuous API Security is Important

Automated API Pentesting

Perform regular black box pentests on your APIs and spend less on infrequent manual penetration tests.

API Cybersecurity Risk Reduction

Benchmark your next release against OWASP API Top 10 and other known vulnerabilities.

Schedule API Scans

Match API vulnerability scanning to your agile dev cycle.

Ensure Compliance with API Security Testing

Scan every new release before deployment and ensure compliance with regulations and standards (HIPAA, GDPR, ISO, and many more).

Faster Detection of API Vulnerabilities

Detect and mitigate vulnerabilities quicker by scanning your APIs regularly.

Integrated Dev Pipeline

Integrate API vulnerability scanning into your dev process and environment and shift security left.

FAQ

API Security

Which are the API security best practices?

  • You should expose just the necessary data
  • Be always informed about the latest cyber security trends & vulnerabilities
  • Use always authorisation and authentication
  • Security certificates should always be set
  • Standardising proper JWT validation
  • Use JSON Web Tokens only Internally
  • And auditing the APIs constantly are the best practices to ensure your API’s

For more API security best practices, read our article about ‘Best Practices to Secure Your API‘.

How to test API security?

You need to configure a project and verify the target. Then it just starts scanning and lasts 2 minutes for the report results.

What is a Web API Security Token

Access tokens are used for token-based authentication to allow applications to access APIs. After the user is successfully authenticated and authorized to access, the application receives an access token and then passes the access token as credentials when calling the target API. The given token informs the holder of the API token that it has been authorized to access the API and perform specific operations specified by the scope granted during authorization.
