Executive Overview
As development operations (DevOps) increases the speed at which applications go to market, many new vulnerabilities are finding their way into production. Application programming interface (API) vulnerabilities have become an exceptionally popular target for attackers, due to the limitations of traditional security solutions. In response, an instrumentation-based application security (AppSec) approach can help automate security responses inside the application itself for more effective protection and more efficient
operations.
This eBook shows how an instrumentation-based approach to security—protection that is built into the application itself—can help automatically detect and protect API vulnerabilities, simplify deployment, scale to accommodate growing DevOps volumes, and enhance ongoing management processes.
