Issue 221: Credential leakage fueling API breaches, API gateway security, PCI DSS 4 impact on API security

This week, we have an article on the rise in API breaches as a result of credential leakage and how this can be addressed by using “MFA for APIs”. We also have a thought-provoking read on how to select an API gateway based on its security characteristics and a brief review of PCI DSS 4. 0’s impact on secure API development methodology.

Finally, we have news of the recently released “Black Hat GraphQL: Attacking Next Generation APIs” book.
