APIs present the largest attack vector according to Gartner, yet are largely overlooked when applying security protocols.

Top challenges in API security:
• APIs are often unmanaged – Rapid growth outstrips the ability to govern them
• APIs are unsecure – A third of APIs are deployed without input from security teams
• API-specific security expertise is either lacking or severely limited

Simon Hunt, Resurface Security Advisory Board member, outlines the increasingly sophisticated threat landscape:

"As more traditional defense methods continue to succeed against commodity attacks, the more sophisticated and dedicated cybercriminals are looking for less-protected niches to infiltrate our companies. APIs remain an attractive target given the velocity they are implemented with, and the general lack of robust visibility, audit, and defense that CISOs demand from more well-understood targets."

Directly addressing that gap, Resurface extends perimeter security, solving for API security at runtime, providing complete context for API traffic to understand valid user actions vs. attacks and threats. Rules-based signatures identify OWASP Top10 security violations, with zero-day alerting with complete data security patterns and behaviors.

Resurface Labs Inc. Detect and respond to API threats and risk in real-time with Resurface continuous API scanning. Purpose-built for API data, Resurface captures complete request and response payloads (including GraphQL) to instantly see threats and failures.
