API attacks have dominated the cybersecurity news cycle lately. In early 2023, T-Mobile made news for an API-based breach of 37 million PII records of its past and present customers. And later that year, Optus, a major telecommunications company in Australia, experienced an API security incident that exposed around 10 million customer records. And API attacks that aren’t quite as ”newsworthy” happen every single day. In fact, the Salt Security Q3 2022 State of API Security Report showed that 94% of survey respondents had experienced API security problems in production, with 19% admitting to an API-related breach. The Gartner prediction that “by 2022, API abuses will move from an infrequent to the most-frequent attack vector, resulting in data breaches for enterprise web applications” has certainly come true.
