Information Gathering
Post scope definition, we enumerate the API to gain information about the potential vulnerabilities.
API Security Testing is to identify, classify and exploit potential vulnerabilities in Application Programming Interfaces (API) and Web Services. Security Assessments aids the developers to timely remediate the vulnerabilities, enhance its overall security and safeguard the software from any unauthorized access which can cause a negative impact on the organization.
APIs expose application logic and sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and hence the vulnerability. Advancements in the web technologies have increased the use of the API owing to their capability in providing ease in usage of the software technologies.
Hence assessments like API security testing as per OWASP API Top 10 2019, helps the developers to remediate vulnerabilities that may cause a potential impact on the organization or on business.
Information Gathering
Post scope definition, we enumerate the API to gain information about the potential vulnerabilities.
Reporting
Document detailed report listing from the classified findings in a clear, concise and effective manner.
Vulnerability Analysis and Exploitation
We identify the vulnerable input parameters of the API through automated as well as manual testing and exploit it.
Confirmatory Assessment
APIs are re-tested to validate the applied fix after remediation for the identified observations.
Post-Exploitation
We assess the value of the compromised API, to determine whether any further exploitation is possible.
Final Reporting
Based on the test results of the confirmatory assessment, a Pass/Fail report is issued.
API security testing is a continuous improvement process securing the data and the reputation of the firm and the user. The benefits of API security testing run far and help businesses meet their compliance requirements faster.
