GUEST ESSAY – A primer on ‘WAAP’ – an approach to securing APIs at the web app layer

The Last Watchdog

Today, criminal hackers rather routinely leverage loosely-configured and lightly-monitored APIs in two ways: to gain a foothold in the early stages of multi-stage network attacks, and later to encrypt crucial systems and/or exfiltrate sensitive data. API complexity. API security is more complex than traditional web security.
