As enterprises are modernizing their applications, they are undergoing a major shift in architecture and infrastructure. A major force enabling rapid development is APIs. This whitepaper reviews various API design approaches, including API-First design, Iterative API Design and Service-First design and why it is essential to embed security best practices into the design and definition of API specs. Learn about CloudVector API SpARC, a tool for API specification analysis to identify security risk and compliance issues.
Learn how to evaluate secure design with these best practices:
- API Transport definitions
- Authentication and Authorization definitions
- Data Type definitions
- API Life-Cycle considerations
- API Specification file management
