Latest Salt Security Report Reveals Some Disturbing Facts About API Security

Salt Security recently released the findings of their latest API Security Report, Q3 2022, which the company conducts every six months in line with the shifting currents of the market. In this episode of Let’s Talk, Michelle McLean, VP of Marketing at Salt Security, joins me to deep dive into the report. When she looks back at previous reports, she finds that one thing remains consistent — “We are still seeing a fairly high percentage of folks getting impacted or having at least some form of API security incident in the past 12 months.” Over 94% of companies experienced security incidents in production APIs, even though nothing catastrophic happened to them, with over 20% of companies reporting some sort of data breach as a result of security gaps in APIs.
