Layered Approach of API Security Strategies and its Business Impact
summary
Shows that real breaches—like a consumer credit firm that pays millions after a single API exposed personal data—stem from broken object-level authorization, misconfigured auth and missing rate limits. Recommends concrete defenses: CI/CD and secret management, static analysis, API inventory and API discovery, gateway logs, WAFs and runtime protection with behavior analysis; cites a gaming firm that deploys an AI anomaly detector which finds unusual traffic and successfully stops attacks in real time.
