API Penetration Testing

We offer specialist API penetration testing to ensure your backend system is secure and protected at all times.

Ensuring your APIs' security with expert Penetration Testing

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) form the backbone of today's interconnected software landscape, facilitating efficient data exchange between applications. But these pivotal bridges can become vulnerability points if not adequately secured. At Blue Frontier our API Penetration Testing services aim to strengthen your APIs against potential threats, ensuring your data and systems' robust security.

Why API Penetration Testing?

APIs, being the gateways for data exchange, can expose extensive security vulnerabilities if not properly fortified. Insecure APIs offer cybercriminals an opportunity to access sensitive data, manipulate system operations, or even gain control over your systems. Our API Penetration Testing services are designed to uncover such vulnerabilities, helping you address them before they can be exploited.

Our Expertise

Blue Frontier is home to an experienced team of professional’s adept in API development and security. We adhere to a thorough testing methodology in line with the updated OWASP API Security Top 10 2023, ensuring your APIs are fortified against the latest known threats.

Our testing approach includes:

API1:2023 - Broken Object Level Authorisation

We examine your APIs to validate that they perform necessary authorisation checks on every function that interacts with a data source using user-supplied IDs.

API2:2023 - Broken Authentication

We test your APIs' authentication mechanisms, ensuring they effectively verify user identities to prevent unauthorised access.

API3:2023 - Broken Object Property Level Authorisation

We combine the checking of excessive data exposure and mass assignment into a comprehensive examination of object property level authorisation.

API4:2023 - Unrestricted Resource Consumption

We assess your API's resource management to ensure effective use and prevent denial of service attacks or inflated operational costs.

API5:2023 - Broken Function Level Authorisation

We validate the integrity of your complex access control policies, making sure attackers cannot gain access to administrative functions or other users' resources.

API6:2023 - Unrestricted Access to Sensitive Business Flows

We review your APIs for possible exposure of crucial business processes that could be exploited or manipulated to harm your business.

API7:2023 - Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

We test for potential SSRF flaws to ensure user-supplied URIs are validated properly, preventing the sending of crafted requests to unexpected destinations.

API8:2023 - Security Misconfiguration

We check your API and associated systems' configurations, ensuring they adhere to security best practices to fend off potential attacks.

API9:2023 - Improper Inventory Management

We audit your APIs' endpoints and maintain up-to-date documentation to minimise risks associated with deprecated versions or exposed debug endpoints.

API10:2023 - Unsafe Consumption of APIs

We scrutinise your APIs' interactions with third-party services, reinforcing security measures to prevent indirect compromise.
