Smart Mobility has a Blindspot When it Comes to API Security – Domedigita>

When examining smart mobility applications and services, Upstream’s threat intelligence team reported that black-hat actors were found to be behind 53% of incidents, indicating malicious intent as the driving force of the majority of API-related attacks.WAF is not (always) enough: developing a contextual framework for smart mobility API security Smart mobility services have always been monitoring and securing API transactions to avoid revenue loss due to fraud, service downtime, and compromising organizational or users private data.Ensuring a strong cybersecurity posture in the smart mobility ecosystem requires expanding the scope to include a contextual analysis of the real-life impact of APIs on mobility assets , including vehicles on the road.Smart mobility players are adopting a new approach to securing smart mobility API transactions, which includes four key steps: – Map the potential attack surface – Continuously monitor API traffic – Apply contextual anomaly detection – Mitigate and respond to cyber threats The first step is to understand the potential attack surface as it relates to APIs.
