Mobile apps expose APIs to threats beyond traditional security. Attackers can reverse-engineer apps, extract API keys, tamper with code, and exploit devices. Protecting APIs requires hardening them within apps and verifying requests via app attestation. Read this white paper to learn how client-side defenses enhance API security.
Mobile apps are prime targets for API attacks, often leaking 10 times more data than typical breaches. Perimeter-based security tools fail to address mobile-specific risks, as apps operate in untrusted environments where attackers reverse-engineer code, extract credentials, and manipulate API calls.
This white paper explains why traditional API security falls short for mobile and offers strategies to close gaps. Topics include:
· How attackers exploit app reverse-engineering and tampering
· Limitations of SSL pinning and schema validation in detecting logic abuse
· Techniques like API hardening and app attestation
Learn to build an API security strategy that protects from the client side outward.
