They provide an easy interface for developers to work with, as they mask the complexity of the backend programming. This, in turn, is essential for helping enterprises cope with changing customer demands, leverage existing data, and present data to clients in a compelling way. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Therefore, APIs are now a major part of enterprises\u2019 digital transformation projects. However, they are also a recurring cybersecurity afterthought. Indeed, major vulnerabilities in APIs have resulted in numerous recent data breaches, including some of the more prominent scandals at Facebook. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To gain a better sense of the problems surrounding these interfaces, Ping Identity surveyed 100 security experts at the IDENTIFY 2018 conference in San Francisco and New York.
