The Challenge
Public Sector
Government organizations depend on APIs for digital services, inter-agency data sharing, and cloud-based operations. But unsecured APIs expose sensitive citizen data, disrupt critical services, and create compliance risks. Traditional security tools fail to detect API-specific vulnerabilities, leaving agencies open to cyberattacks.
Key API Security Risks
Compliance & Data Exposure
Lack of fine-grained authorization and excessive data exposure put citizen and classified information at risk.
Shadow & Unmanaged APIs
Rapid Sprawl and Shadow APIs Significantly Expand the Attack Surface Across Government Agencies and Public Services
Business Logic Attacks & Fraud
Attackers exploit APIs to alter tax filings, manipulate benefits programs, and tamper with public records.
Automated API Attacks
Bots target citizen portals, government databases, and
national security systems for unauthorized access.
