Overview

Developer reviewing secure API integrations via a dashboard with vulnerability alerts and remediation options

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.

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.
