Best Practices to Tame the Monster API Problem

Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) analysts project that in 24 months, 78% of organizations’ applications will use APIs. This API proliferation—exacerbated by the break-neck pace of AI app development—complicates the process of gaining clear visibility into your APIs, including their context and ownership. Without this visibility, insecure APIs abound. And weeding out undercover, sophisticated threats, by sorting through large amounts of anomalous traffic, is like finding a needle in a haystack. Watch this exclusive Fireside Chat on or after April 24, 2025 with ESG Principal Analyst of Network Security John Grady, and Director of Cybersecurity Strategy at Salt Security Eric Schwake, as the pair explain how to improve API protection and the benefits of purpose-built API security tools. After tuning in, you’ll understand how Salt Security helps organizations gather a comprehensive inventory of their APIs and deploy intent-based protection to detect and block misuse.
