The perceptions of the API security market have really shifted since we started Impart Security three years ago. When we first started Impart, API security was a new market; there were many different opinions about what API security was, how to approach the problem, and what good API security looked like. I remember back in 2020, although most security teams I spoke with thought of API security as a critical part of their security program, those same teams also had very different views of what specific problems and urgent pain points needed to be addressed. In this post I’ll unpack the current state of the API security market, where it’s going, and how security teams should be implementing it with API-first runtime protection.
