CAMBRIDGE, Mass., July 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the cloud company that powers and protects life online, today released the results of a new survey of application security professionals on what they view as the top security risks related to Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

Key Points: 
  • The 2023 SANS Survey on API Security found that less than 50 percent of respondents have API security testing tools in place.
  • What's more, the report finds that taking advantage of API security controls that are included in DDoS and load balancing services is "an underutilized area."
  • Survey participants ranked phishing (38.3 percent) and missing patches (24 percent) as the top two API security concerns.
  • "The key takeaways of this survey are that security hygiene controls like strong authentication, asset inventory, vulnerability management and change control need to address API security issues," said John Pescatore, Director of Emerging Security Trends with SANS.
