World-renowned analyst firm, Gartner, recently published a research piece entitled, Everything You Should Do to Address API Security, which is a compilation of all their latest research on the subject. More importantly, it maps out the key domains that you need to be aware of, and invest in, if you take your API security posture seriously. With that said, I found it quite interesting how well aligned their API security domains are to the Noname API Security portfolio.
Application programming interfaces (APIs) are becoming increasingly important for businesses to stay competitive in the digital age. However, they can also be vulnerable to malicious threats if not properly secured. Therefore, it’s essential for businesses to take measures to enhance their API security posture and address any potential vulnerabilities.
The United States has been a leader in information technology for decades, and the U.S. government has been a major driver in that arena from the start.

API sprawl is a term used to describe the uncontrolled proliferation of APIs across an organization. It’s a common problem for organizations that have multiple development teams and a wide variety of applications and services.

Enterprises face a challenging environment: economic headwinds, efficiency, and cybersecurity resilience dominate board meeting discussions amid rapid changes in technology. APIs especially have gone from playing a minor role in digital operations to being a company’s most important, mission-critical connections. In today's digital age, APIs have become an essential component of many organizations' business strategies.
