In case you're not aware of our OWASP API Security Top 10 series, you can find the articles here. Most APIs, special those that support web front-ends or mobile applications, include several authentication-related endpoints. Based on our experience, quite often APIs fail to tackle brute force atta...
In case you're landing here coming from a search engine or a referral article, you may want to read our OWASP API Security Top 10 series debut article first. This is the first article in this series because it was, and probably still is, the most critical API security risk at the time the document...
This is not the first time we write about the OWASP API Security TOP 10 and it won’t be the last. On our “Hunting the OWASP API Security Top 10” article, we did a quick introduction to this OWASP project, explaining a bit our involvement and contributions to it. Because we find more and more vulne...

At that time API security was not exactly on the news, but APIs were becoming a fast-paced critical piece of modern applications architecture.

That had given us a great understanding and experience on the API security scene, but we’ve dug deeper into API-related publicly available security incidents data. Our contribution was released later that year as part of the OWASP API Security Top 10 2019.
