API Analytics and Monitoring
Businesses use APIs to connect services and to transfer data. Broken, exposed, or hacked APIs are behind major data breaches. They expose sensitive medical, financial, and personal data for public consumption. That said, not all data is the same nor should be protected in the same way. How you approach API security will depend on what kind of data is being transferred.
If your API connects to a third-party application, understand how that app is funneling information back to the internet. To use the example above, maybe you don’t care if someone finds out what’s in your fridge, but if they use that same API to track your location you might be more concerned.
