Application Program Interface (API) Security Assessment

Hardening the Invisible Connections

APIs are the “glue” of modern software, yet they are often left unprotected. Because they facilitate direct communication between systems, a single API flaw can expose an entire database. Our assessment focuses on securing these endpoints, ensuring that only authorized users and systems can exchange data.

  • Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA): Testing if a user can manipulate an ID in an API request to access another user's private data, one of the most critical API risks.
  • Rate Limiting & DoS Prevention: Ensuring that your APIs cannot be overwhelmed by automated scripts or "brute-force" attacks.
  • Mass Assignment & Data Over-sharing: Verifying that the API only returns the specific data requested, rather than exposing unnecessary sensitive information in the background.
  • JWT & Token Security: Evaluating the implementation of JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and OAuth protocols to ensure secure and tamper-proof authentication.
