Frequently Asked Questions

What Is API Security?

API security refers to the practices, measures, and technologies implemented to protect Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) from unauthorized access, data breaches, and other cyber threats. APIs are sets of rules and protocols that allow different software applications to communicate and interact with each other.

API security is crucial because APIs often serve as gateways to valuable data and functionalities within an organization's systems. By compromising an API, attackers can gain unauthorized access to sensitive information, manipulate data, disrupt services, or launch other malicious activities. Therefore, protecting APIs and ensuring their security is vital for maintaining the overall security posture of an application or system.

What Is an API Endpoint?

An API endpoint is a specific URL or URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) that represents a unique resource or functionality provided by an API. It serves as the entry point for accessing and interacting with the API.

In simpler terms, an API endpoint is a specific URL to which a client application can send requests to perform certain actions or retrieve specific information from the API. Each endpoint typically represents a distinct operation or resource within the API.

API endpoints are designed following a specific pattern and adhere to the API's defined structure and conventions. They are typically constructed using the HTTP methods (such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE) combined with a specific URL path corresponding to a particular resource or action.

How Does the REST API Scanning Work?

REST API scanning is a feature of our web application service that enables the detection of vulnerabilities in JSON REST APIs. The process involves injecting vulnerability detection patterns into the APIs to identify various vulnerability classes, including SQL injections, XXE, and deserialization issues.

To initiate the scanning process, you need to provide an OpenAPI specification document. This document is parsed by our scanner and serves as the starting point for identifying vulnerabilities in the REST APIs.

Please note that the OpenAPI specification must be published before Holm Security can perform the API scan. This ensures that our scanning system can access and analyze the API effectively.

Additionally, if you have the API specification in a different file format like WADL, we provide the option to convert it to the required OpenAPI format for seamless scanning.

How Do I Best Secure APIs?

In today's technology landscape, APIs play a crucial role in the functionality of mobile, SaaS, and web applications. As organizations increasingly leverage APIs to enhance automation and optimize performance, it is imperative to recognize that the expanded presence of APIs also presents an enlarged attack surface for potential hackers.

Understanding the locations of your APIs and comprehending the potential exploitation avenues for attackers has become increasingly critical. The significance of regular API scanning cannot be overstated, as it serves as a proactive measure to secure your application ecosystem. By conducting systematic API scans, you can identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses before they can be exploited, enabling you to promptly address and rectify them.
