Organizations increasingly turn to dedicated tools that can help protect their web applications and public APIs, as research firm Gartner noted in its 2020 report Defining Cloud Web Application and API Protection Services.” “By 2023, more than 30% of public-facing web applications will be protected by cloud web application and API protection (WAAP) services that combine DDoS protection, bot mitigation, API protection and web application firewalls (WAFs).” This is an increase from fewer than 10% today.
I gave this talk towards the end of last year at a security conference. In the age of cyberthreats, and with the state of affairs in the world, most data breaches will come from attacks on APIs. Yet, one of the top reasons companies are hesitant to move to the cloud is their concerns with security. Watch this video and learn more about API security, and how to leverage Apigee to easily migrate to the cloud, and build a robust protection layer for your APIs and applications.
