Key notes

If your organization has been having trouble with the cyberattacks that are constantly finding new ways to transform, Veracode has good news for you. The company is launching a new scanning tool that will enable organizations to locate and fix API vulnerabilities.

Over the past year, businesses have undergone an immense digital transformation that has necessitated the creation of modern applications. Still,phishing campaignsare on the rise necessitating organizations to beef up their security.

Because they allow easy data transmission, they make information readily available. The downside is that they also expose them to attack by cybercriminals that result in data breaches.

The launch

Veracodehas stepped in to address this critical issue by launching a scanning tool that will enable organizations to address the vulnerabilities in APIs.

According to Veracode,

“The explosion of APIs means that application development is becoming more fragmented and decentralized in nature, so the attack surface is growing exponentially, As such, API scanning has become the most-requested feature by our customers as they look for a solution that saves time, frees up resources, and provides peace of mind.”

Enhanced security

The scanning tool uses the powerful Dynamic Analysis (DAST) scanning engine from Veracode to provide security insights. Afterward, the APIs are guided to assist security managers in analyzing APIs early in advance before they are incorporated into bigger networks.

Since API scans are grouped in order of severity, security teams will have an easier time accessing details because they will be guided. They will only be required to fix insecure code, which makes collaboration easier between security and the development team.

Organizations are quickly leaning on API security, and very soon, it will become a cornerstone for any software security strategy.

What do you think of the move by Veracode to launch the new scanning tool? Do you think there will be reduced cyberattacks? Let us know in the comment section below.
