1. A powerful API security problem needs a powerfully smart solution.
PingIntelligence for APIs applies artificial intelligence (AI) for cyberattack detection
and blocking, as well as deep API traffic insight.
Despite its importance, API cybersecurity isn’t getting any easier.
Here are some of the challenges overwhelming enterprise security
teams today, proving that you need AI, now more than ever.
By 2022, API abuses will be the
most-frequent attack vector
resulting in data breaches for
enterprise web applications.
