Will APIs be the gateway to effective cyber attacks in 2021?

• Global organizations are struggling to maintain consistent application security across multiple platforms, and they are also losing visibility with the emergence of new architectures and the adoption of APIs.
• Nearly 40 percent of organizations surveyed reported that more than one-half of their applications are exposed to the Internet or third-party services via APIs.
• Bot management is also a major concern because enterprises are not prepared to properly manage bot traffic.
