API Penetration Testing

Strengthen your application’s security with BSmart’s API Penetration Testing (API PT) services. Our expert team conducts both automated and manual testing to uncover exploitable vulnerabilities and provide actionable insights for remediation.

Decoding API Penetration Testing

APIs play a critical role in software development, facilitating the transmission of data and logic across systems and applications. However, this makes them prime targets for cybercriminals. Many major data breaches have occurred due to API vulnerabilities exploited to steal sensitive information.

Why API Penetration Testing Matters:Using offensive, real-world attack techniques, we test APIs for vulnerabilities in source code, server-side applications, and back-end logic. Adopting industry-leading standards such as PTES, OSSTMM, and OWASP, we ensure your APIs are fortified against even the most advanced threats.
