We help businesses comply with the NIS-2 Directive, and assist in implementing a comprehensive API security program that addresses all aspects of API security, from design to deployment and ongoing management.
APIs serve as leading attack vectors due to the sensitive data they handle and their role as data gateways for companies and organizations. Traditional network and web protection tools are insufficient in fully securing APIs from all threats, including those listed in the OWASP API Security Top 10. Inadequate detection and response mechanisms can lead to challenges in identifying and remedying API attacks.
Cybercriminals exploit insecure web APIs, raising concerns among corporate leaders. Common attacks include man-in-the-middle (MITM), distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), injection, or broken access controls. Adherence to the latest industry API security best practices is crucial for preventing identity theft, other cybercrimes, and ensuring data safety.
If your business operates in the EU and provides digital services or critical infrastructure, you will be subject to the requirements of the NIS-2 Directive. This necessitates the implementation of appropriate technical and organizational measures to manage the risks posed to the security of your network and information systems, including your APIs.
Compliance with the NIS-2 Directive requires a comprehensive API security program that includes measures such as authentication, authorization, encryption, and monitoring. This may involve implementing additional security controls to ensure that only authorized parties can access and use the APIs. Moreover, you will need to report security incidents to the relevant authorities, including incidents related to APIs.
