Decoding API Security
When it comes to access points from a hacker’s perspective, APIs are high on the list. The API framework is such that it makes a great target for hackers who want to get at application logic or other sensitive information. With SharkStriker API pentesting services, you will essentially be testing the server-side of your application for vulnerabilities residing in backend application logic and the API source code.
An insecurely configured API is like putting up a ‘sign’ that welcomes attackers into your organization’s network. It is important to note that all organizations are going through continuous digital transformation and the use of API is prevalent to connect to services that improve operational efficiencies. Our wide-ranging API test helps you get the benefit of secure API implementation whether REST (Representational State Transfer) or SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).
APIs on the Radar
-
81% of organizations suffered attacks against their APIs
-
50% increase in bot attacks on APIs
The growing use of APIs across all facets of business also brings with it a significant increase in the attack surface.

API Vulnerability Coverage
We are the Answer to Securing your APIs
SharkStriker’s API penetration testing service is configured to identify a broad range of API vulnerabilities, which are discovered with the use of both automated assessment and manual penetration testing. Our API penetration covers all vulnerabilities that are a part of the OWASPs top-ten list:
Broken Object Level Authorization
Broken User Authentication
Excessive Data Exposure
Lack of Resources & Rate Limiting
Broken Function Level Authorization
Mass Assignment
Security Misconfiguration
Injection
Improper Assets Management
Insufficient Logging & Monitoring

The VAPT Process
Data Gathering and Analysis
Our API VAPT testers use automated tools and techniques and combine them with their own manual expertise to get a thorough understanding of all APIs used by your organization and also third-party services.
Configuration Evaluation
Our build and configuration team undertakes a systematic analysis of your APIs to identify vulnerabilities across the interface and its architecture through comparison with standardized baseline API settings.
Vulnerability exploitation
Our ethical hackers get into the act to attack these vulnerabilities to judge the nature of these vulnerabilities and list them according to remediation priority.
Reporting Vulnerabilities
A formal report is provided that fully documents the number of vulnerabilities, their seriousness, and any other information that will help understand them better.
Remedial Action
We undertake action that helps plug security holes across your APIs and decrease the level of exposure and risks.

Frequently Asked Questions
The time taken to conduct an API VAPT depends on numerous variables including the scope of testing and the scale of the API. Our team will give you a fair idea of the time it will take to conduct an API VAPT test.
The cost varies depending on diverse factors such as extent of testing, time taken to hack into vulnerabilities and more. Do get in touch with our team to get more clarity on the costing.
We cover all top vulnerabilities that are a part of the OWASP’s top API vulnerabilities, but don’t limit ourselves. We undertake extensive vulnerability testing that ensures no vulnerability remains hidden.
Think of your API as one of the weaker links in your organization’s cybersecurity posture. More often than not, these get ignored and in a worst-case scenario, this can result in a data breach disaster. Why worry about API vulnerabilities, when you can use the services of API VAPT?
