As application ecosystems evolve toward microservices, serverless architectures, and cloud-native models, Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have become essential conduits for data and functionality exchange. However, their ubiquity and accessibility also make them prime targets for cyberattacks. This paper explores the evolving threat landscape for APIs, outlines the security challenges associated with API-first development, and recommends best practices for securing APIs across their lifecycle. It also includes a case study on high-profile API breaches from 2021–2022 and offers practical implementation strategies aligned with NIST and OWASP frameworks.
