APIs play a critical role in modern software development by facilitating the exchange of sensitive data between users, applications, and IoT devices. Consequently, APIs are an easy target for hackers, and API security vulnerabilities can lead to compromised networks and data breaches.

Furthermore, traditional web application scanners generally lack the ability to test APIs in depth. Many classes of vulnerabilities are discoverable only through manual assessment techniques.

Optiv's API Assessments provides comprehensive manual security testing of your cloud APIs and web services, including those APIs published to AWS API Gateway or exposed through AWS Lambda or other services.
