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.

Get your report

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.

What is an API vulnerability scanner?

Nowadays, every online business must have an Automated Vulnerability Scanner, and that’s why we developed one. In addition, we create solutions such as our API Scanner to ensure web applications and help organizations avoid cyber security attacks. At the same time, they can save money and time on development hours.

We offer you API Security with a straightforward approach:

  • Developers get to save around 100 hours per year due to reduced test setup and remediation help right in the scan report.
  • Save on average 40% on your petesting budget and enable constant security posture transparency while decreasing your exposure.

Note: It’s essential that you own and have permission to set the API scanner. The API tool can generate different HTTP Requests that can be considered attacks (even if they are inoffensive), so consider that you need the authorization to run this scanner.

What is API Security?

API security refers to the protection of APIs against unauthorized access. It’s also known as secure coding and secure development. So, API security includes selecting different tools to ensure and protect the integrity of a tech stack. A vigorously secured API covers both the APIs an organization employs and its administrations.

How the API vulnerability scanner works

The API security tool scans REST APIs documented with Swagger or OpenAPI files. It parses the API specification file and scans each endpoint documented in it. Additionally, during scanning it considers examples provided in the specification.

After concluding the scan, you are presented with an extensive report, its findings, vulnerabilities severity level, and how to fix them.

Why should I start an API vulnerability test?

As APIs are publicly available, they are common targets for hackers to steal sensitive information, such as application logic, user credentials, and credit card numbers. Malicious actors exploit vulnerabilities in an API endpoint to access a system or network for various other forms of attacks such as cross-site scripting and code injections.

How do I run an API security test?

Set up and start scanning in less than 2 minutes.

  • Check the fastest setup on the market. After you register, create an API or Microservices scan target, verify ownership and run a Quick or Full Scan. We scan your web application and provide a report with all vulnerabilities found.
  • Excellent support team of security. We verify your API test to ensure you are setting up our vulnerability tool correctly.
  • Test all API Top 10 OWASP vulnerabilities. You’ll get precisely the types of attacks you are exposed to and the risk levels they have.

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.

Which are the most common API security vulnerabilities?
