Vulnerable APIs and Bot Attacks: Two Interconnected, Growing Security Threats - David Holmes - ASW #300

APIs are essential to modern application architectures, driving rapid development, seamless integration, and improved user experiences. However, their widespread use has made them prime targets for attackers, especially those deploying sophisticated bots. When these bots exploit business logic, they can cause considerable financial and reputational damage.
