Cybersecurity is vital to ensure the integrity of API data.
According to Accenture, cybercrime could cost banks an estimated $350 billion in the next five years. Gartner, the world’s leading research and advisory company, estimates that “by 2021, 90% of web-enabled applications will have more surface area for attack in the form of exposed APIs rather than the UI, up from 40% in 2019” and “by 2022, API abuses will move from an infrequent to the most-frequent attack vector, resulting in data breaches for enterprise web applications.”* By nature, APIs expose application logic and sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), which is why they have become a prime target for cybercriminals and why protecting APIs has become increasingly important.
