Secure APIs - Jose Peralta

APIs are your app’s front door. What if hackers already have the keys? Protect your APIs from modern cyber threats. Master OWASP Top 10 defenses with secure, scalable solutions.  OWASP Top 10 guidance: Spot and eliminate the most critical API risks before attackers exploit them.  API security by design: Integrate strong security principles into every stage of API architecture and development.  Zero-trust security: Enforce strict access controls to minimize the impact of compromised credentials or services.  Automated API testing strategies: Continuously validate security with tools and processes that detect vulnerabilities early. Observability and monitoring for threat detection: Gain visibility into API behavior to identify and respond to intrusions quickly. Secure APIs: Design, Build, and Implement by José Haro Peralta delivers a hands-on guide to building secure APIs. With Python-based examples and a clear focus on the OWASP Top 10, this book equips developers, architects, and security professionals with the knowledge and tools to defend against real-world API vulnerabilities. Through practical examples, you’ll learn how to apply authentication and authorization best practices, enforce zero-trust security, and implement API gateway controls. The book addresses specific vulnerabilities, offering actionable solutions supported by code samples and testing strategies. Observability and monitoring techniques help to detect intrusions early
