APIs are essential, but dangerously exposed.

Why APIs Are a Top Target

APIs enable seamless integration, but they often bypass traditional security controls. Attackers exploit misconfigured endpoints, abuse business logic, and leverage forgotten “shadow APIs” to infiltrate systems and exfiltrate data at scale. Their high traffic volume makes them perfect for automated attacks.

The Data Doesn’t Lie

According to Thales’ Imperva API Threat Report 2025:

• 40,000+ API incidents were reported in just six months.
• 44% of advanced bot traffic now targets APIs.
• Most companies operate with 10–20% more APIs than they know exist.

Sectors like financial services, telecoms, and travel are particularly exposed. With projections exceeding 80,000 API attacks by year-end, the urgency is clear.

Why Penetration Testing is Crucial

Automated scans only go so far. API Penetration Testing uncovers vulnerabilities that machines miss—like broken auth, insecure data flows, and logic flaws. It’s the only way to assess both documented and undocumented APIs in real-world conditions.

Key takeaways from effective API testing:

• Identify exposure in your business logic
• Detect shadow APIs before attackers do
• Meet compliance and risk requirements
• Strengthen customer trust and operational resilience

Secure What Connects Everything

API security is no longer optional—it’s fundamental. Every unsecured API is a liability. A single breach can lead to regulatory penalties, service disruptions, and reputational damage.

At Cyber Node, our API Penetration Testing service goes beyond surface-level scans. We simulate real-world attacks, expose hidden weaknesses, and deliver clear, actionable guidance—empowering you to defend your most critical digital assets.

Get clarity. Eliminate blind spots. Strengthen your API security.
