Why Are Web Services and API Assessments Important?
In today’s digital world, web services and APIs are essential components of most organizations’ IT infrastructure. They provide a way for different applications to communicate with each other and allow organizations to expose their data and functionality to partners, customers, and other third parties. This connectivity comes at a price, however - it can also create new security risks. A successful attack on a web service or API can lead to data leakage, service disruption, and loss of customer trust. You should regularly assess the security of your web services and APIs to ensure they are not exposing your organization to undue risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a Web Security Assessment Take?
The duration of a web security assessment depends on the size and complexity of your organization’s web infrastructure. Our experienced consultants will work with you to understand your needs and tailor the engagement to fit your schedule.
What Is the Difference Between Web Services and API Assessment?
A web API is a set of programming instructions that allows the software to interact with another piece of software. A web service is a type of API that allows communication between two different systems over the internet. An API assessment is a security assessment that focuses explicitly on the security of an organization’s APIs. Web services and APIs are often used interchangeably, but they are two different types of technologies.
What are the Common Vulnerabilities in Web Services and APIs?
The most common vulnerabilities in web services and APIs include SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and cross-site request forgery (CSRF). Attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities to access sensitive data, disrupt service, or take over user accounts.
How Can I Protect My Web Services and APIs from Attack?
The best way to protect your web services and APIs from attack is to assess their security and address any vulnerabilities regularly. Pynesec’s web security assessment not only pinpoints vulnerabilities in your organization’s web infrastructure but provides guidance on how to fix them.
