APIsec

APIsec refers to the practice of ensuring the security of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), which are sets of rules that allow different software applications to communicate with each other. As APIs are increasingly used in websites and apps, securing them is crucial to protect sensitive data from unauthorized access, attacks, or misuse. API security involves implementing various measures, such as authentication (verifying user identity), authorization (controlling access levels), and encryption (protecting data in transit), to safeguard these connections and ensure that only legitimate users can interact with the services they provide.
