Hardening Your APIs
APIs are an attractive target for attackers. As a consequence, it is crucial to harden your APIs to prevent an attacker from gaining a foothold. In this course, we investigate how attackers deploy offensive techniques to attack your API and how to apply defensive security techniques to counter these attacks. By course end, you will build up a list of best practices to increase the security of your API.
