EC News DeskAccording to Gartner “by 2023, 90% of web-enabled applications will have more surface area for attack in the form of exposed APIs rather than the user interface (UI), up from 50% in 2020. By 2022, API abuses will move from an infrequent to the most frequent attack vector, resulting in data breaches for enterprise web applications.” Nowadays, organizations require application security technologies that are easy to deploy and provide high assurance, protection, high-value findings, without slowing down operations and overall performance.
