REST API Security Assessment

Comprehensive security assessment for REST APIs

About This Service

Our REST API Security Assessment provides comprehensive security testing for RESTful APIs following OWASP API Security Top 10 guidelines. We test for authentication flaws, authorization bypasses, input validation issues, rate limiting vulnerabilities, and API-specific security concerns.

What's Included

Authentication and authorization testing

Input validation and injection testing

Rate limiting and throttling assessment

API endpoint security testing

HTTP method and verb tampering testing

API versioning and deprecation review

Frequently Asked Questions

What is REST API Security Assessment?

REST API Security Assessment evaluates RESTful APIs for security vulnerabilities including authentication flaws, authorization bypasses, input validation issues, rate limiting vulnerabilities, and other API-specific security concerns following OWASP API Security Top 10.

What vulnerabilities are tested in REST APIs?

We test for broken authentication, excessive data exposure, lack of resources and rate limiting, mass assignment, security misconfiguration, injection flaws, improper asset management, and insufficient logging and monitoring.

How long does a REST API security assessment take?

Assessment duration depends on API complexity and number of endpoints, typically ranging from 2-4 weeks for comprehensive evaluation.
