The headline findings include shadow APIs spiking 900%, highlighting a lack of API visibility. Shadow APIs live outside the typical information technology management and security processes. They’re often undocumented, creating security and governance risks.

The report is said to demonstrate that the API threat landscape is constantly evolving and organizations need to be vigilant in protecting their APIs and web applications from automated threats, or bots, and vulnerability exploits. Attackers are becoming more sophisticated and API-specific in their tactics, and traditional protection techniques continue to provide an ineffective defense.
