Get up to speed with API security using this comprehensive guide
full of best practices on how to build safer and secure APIs Key
Features * Gain a deep understanding of the inner working of APIs
with a sharp focus on security * Learn the tools and techniques of
API security testers and hackers by building your own hacking
laboratory * Master the art of building rugged APIs with shift-left
and shield-right approaches covering the API lifecycle Book
Description API adoption continues to grow exponentially, but with
it, so do security concerns about their implementation and inherent
vulnerabilities. If you want to learn more about building,
deploying, and managing APIs as your company's first line of cyber
defense, then this book is for you. Written by a DevSecOps expert
with a wealth of experience, API Security: Attack and Defense
Techniques meets the needs of tackling API security with innovative
approaches and techniques designed to tackle API-specific safety
concerns. The opening chapters are dedicated to API building
blocks, hacking APIs using vulnerabilities, and case studies of
recent breaches, while the rest of the book focuses on helping you
build the skills needed to secure APIs in practice. Through
step-by-step instructions, you'll learn offensive methods for
testing vulnerabilities, attacking, and exploiting APIs. Then
you'll switch sides and learn about effective defense techniques to
secure against common attacks. There are plenty of case studies
peppered throughout the book to help you apply the techniques
you're learning in practice, alongside in-depth insights and plenty
of best practices that will help you build better APIs from the
ground up. By the end of this book, you'll be able to build secure
APIs and test them for various API cyber threats. What you will
learn * Explore the core elements of APIs and how they're used in
combination to build APIs * Understand the OWASP API Security Top
10 and the root causes of insecure APIs * Gain real-world insight
into recent high profile API security breaches with practical
examples and analysis * Dive into offensive techniques by learning
how to exploit APIs for learning or bug bounty programs * Use
shift-left approaches to build APIs that are secure-by-design *
Learn how to defend against common API vulnerabilities across
several frameworks and languages like .NET, Python, Java, and
others Who This Book Is For This book is for API developers,
software architects, blue-teams, or anyone who wants to get a solid
grasp of building secure APIs and microservices. This book is also
for pen-testers, bug bounty hunters, and red-teams wanting to
understand tools and methods for attacking and exploiting APIs
You'll need basic knowledge of software and security to understand
the attack vector and defensive techniques explained in the book,
but aside from that, you'll get by with a thorough understanding of
API security.
