wib – The Only Firm Extending A Solution for the Entire API Development Lifecycle.
The last few years have seen a meteoric rise in the adoption of APIs and the microservices that leverage them to power digital transformation projects and integration. Businesses leveraging the incredible potential of a new generation of straightforward, open, and flexible APIs to speed up the execution of critical business plans are reaping huge rewards in the marketplace.
Since almost any program may now access even the most complicated apps and data sets, APIs represent a significant advancement in connectivity. However, this innovation comes with significant risk, as security concerns are the #1 barrier to these digital transformation projects, and for good reason. Security teams need to be aware of how their attack surfaces and architectures are changing, and API adoption changes their security profile substantially. Consequently, security teams must be mindful of these new and changing attack surfaces that expose backend systems and data to the outside world, often to a larger degree than their user interfaces.
And the adoption is massive; APIs are already responsible for over 91% of internet traffic. Security teams should not expect their current process or tools to be suitable to deal with these changes, as they were never designed for the distributed attack surfaces these architectural changes expose.
“We showed them how to fix the code and business logic they were exposing, as well as to put monitoring in place to detect similar attacks in the future”
Even with these concerns, continued adoption of APIs is inevitable. APIs are easy to work with, and provide greatly enhanced access to technology resources, bringing value and danger to private and public sector entities. As a result, attacks through APIs are rising, and the industry is trying to tackle them with innovative approaches. Enter Wib, a leader in the API security domain and the only firm extending a solution for the whole API development lifecycle.
Wib has carved a niche among its peers with its expertise in both attacking and securing APIs. Wib helps clients secure their enterprises by providing constant visibility into API attack surfaces. As a result, the enterprise extends a unique focus toward eliminating blindspots and understanding the effect of APIs on the risk factor.
