Modern digital ecosystems are powered by APIs. From mobile applications and cloud services to SaaS platforms, e-commerce systems, and enterprise software, APIs have become the invisible infrastructure connecting applications, users, and data across the internet. Businesses rely on APIs to streamline operations, improve customer experiences, automate workflows, and accelerate development.

However, as APIs become more deeply integrated into business operations, they also become one of the most attractive targets for cybercriminals. Attackers increasingly focus on exploiting weak APIs because they often provide direct access to sensitive information, backend systems, authentication mechanisms, and critical business functions.
