Securing Your API: The OWASP Top 10
summary
Claim: 57% of organizations have suffered an API related data breach and the OWASP API Security Top 10 (revised 2023) is used as the checklist. Recommendations are concrete: validate JWT expirations and implement OAuth2 properly, deny by default and centralize RBAC checks, rate limit and paginate to prevent resource exhaustion, apply timeouts or circuit breakers for third‑party calls, use transformation layers not direct DB serialization, and keep an API inventory via OpenAPI specs and API gateways to retire old endpoints.
