Gartner predicts, API attacks would be the most common attack vector in 2022, resulting in data breaches for enterprises. API abuses and related data breaches will double by 2024. The growth the number of APIs, as well asthe exponential increase in API usage, has made businesses realize the importance of API security.
A Massive New Attack Surface
The nature of today's API landscape makes them very attractive to threat actors.

APIs are everywhere

APIs are changing constantly

API vulnerabilities are easy to exploit

AI LLM
APIs are growing more than 200% per year
28% developers say they deploy APIs into production once a week
76% of organizations have had an API-related breach in the past year
30% increase in demand for APIs from AI and tools using LLM by 2026
Why is API security important?
In today's digital landscape, APIs are critical for seamless application communication and business agility. However, unsecured APIs expose sensitive data and disrupt operations, posing a major security threat. Many APIs are used to share potentially sensitive data such as financial, health and personal information which means a broken, hacked or exposed API can cause significant damage.
Recent survey from Noname’s research uncovered a level of complacency and potential denial around the risks that APIs present. While 76% of respondents surveyed said that they had experienced an API security incident, there were also high levels of confidence in their existing solutions, with 67% saying they were happy with the protection provided and the API security provided by either CSPs or specialist security providers.

Intellect7's API security testing solution tackles this challenge with a Unified API Protection strategy by integrating with shift-left posture management and continuous runtime protection.
Why Our Clients Opt Us?

LLM API Security: A Critical Concern in the Age of AI
Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized the way we interact with machines, enabling intelligent conversations, text generation, translation, and more. Their power often comes from integration with other systems through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). However, this reliance on APIs opens up a new landscape of security risks that must be carefully addressed.
