A First Look at the Updated OWASP API Security Top 10

As the pioneer in API security, Salt Security worked closely with the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) to help identify, define, and educate the security community about API security threats.

Given the significance of this list, Salt has been actively involved in the foundation's updated 2023 mapping. We are thrilled to see the publication of the initial release candidate.
