API security testing solutions
Strengthen your API security with dynamic and static testing built for modern development
84%
of organizations cite API security as critical to their application security strategy[1]
Overview
APIs are the backbone of modern applications—but they also expand the attack surface. OpenText™ API security testing solutions enable enterprises to build and maintain secure APIs across the software development lifecycle (SDLC), helping protect REST, SOAP, and GraphQL APIs through integrated SAST, DAST, and IAST capabilities.
Detect vulnerabilities like broken authentication, excessive data exposure, and injection flaws while enabling real-time API threat detection. With automated API testing, security becomes a natural part of the developer workflow.
Benefits of automated API security testing
Boost API resilience with automated testing that uncovers hidden risks, ensures compliance, accelerates DevSecOps, and protects your apps across environments and the software supply chain.
-
Establish comprehensive coverage across API types and standards
Cover REST, SOAP, GraphQL, and OWASP API Top 10 to support compliance and enterprise API security testing across the full development lifecycle.
-
Shift left and secure APIs early
Implement automated API security testing in CI/CD pipelines, IDEs, and tools to secure APIs early and often.
-
Uncover deeper API flaws and business logic issues
Perform dynamic, authenticated scans using real credentials and OAuth2 flows.
-
Uncover risks like insecure deserialization or data leaks
Use code-aware static analysis with data flow tracing to trace tainted data through APIs and uncover risks like insecure deserialization or data leaks.
-
Improve visibility into third-party APIs and supply chain risks
Detect vulnerable third-party or open-source APIs to help secure the software supply chain and manage cloud-based API risks.
-
Implement across all deployments
Secures APIs across cloud-native, on-premises, and hybrid environments—protecting REST and GraphQL APIs at enterprise scale.
Business impacts
-
Data breach prevention
Data breaches are enormously expensive. Protect sensitive data transmitted via APIs from exposure due to broken authentication, injection flaws, or insecure configurations by identifying and fixing API-level vulnerabilities early.
-
Secure digital transformation
Safely enable cloud-native, mobile, and microservices architectures. OpenText API security testing supports the rapid rollout of new digital services while ensuring APIs remain compliant and secure across distributed environments.
-
DevSecOps without disruption
Security is critical to application development—but so is speed. Integrate API security seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines and developer workflows so teams can catch vulnerabilities in real time and ship secure code faster.
-
Compliance and regulatory demands
Organizations must demonstrate secure API practices to meet industry standards and regulations. From GDPR and HIPAA to ISO 27001, OpenText’s testing tools help ensure APIs comply with data protection mandates through auditable security coverage.
-
AI-driven and intelligent application
As intelligent software grows, so do the risks. Protect APIs powering AI and GenAI applications. OpenText detects misuse of AI model APIs, data leakage vectors, and novel attack surfaces introduced by LLM integrations.
-
Third-party integration risk
With supply chain attacks on the rise, organizations need to be able to identify risky dependencies and secure critical API entry points from external threats. Gain visibility into vulnerabilities within third-party and partner APIs.
