Protect APIs without compromising agility
Home / Security Verification / API Security
Design to Production
APIs power digital services, but they also increase security challenges, exposing organizations to data breaches, unauthorized access, and non-compliance. Shadow APIs, weak authentication, a lack of real-time monitoring, and a limited focus on business logic threats increase security risks. At the same time, regulations such as GDPR, HIPAA, RBI, and SEBI demand strict security controls.
We help you secure your API ecosystem by detecting threats early, enforcing robust access controls, ensuring compliance, protecting your sensitive information, preventing breaches, and providing continuous oversight.
NuSummit Cybersecurity provides end-to-end API security solutions that incorporate security-by-design principles, continuous discovery, and posture management.
Identify security threats early using STRIDE and DREAD methodologies. Conduct misuse case workshops to analyze potential API attack scenarios. Implement logic controls to prevent business logic flaws and API abuse.
Integrate security into every phase of API development. Conduct static and dynamic API vulnerability testing based on the OWASP Top 10 API threats. Implement secure authentication protocols, including OAuth, OpenID Connect, and JWT. Automate API security testing within CI/CD pipelines.
Secure API traffic using gateway policies, rate limiting, and runtime enforcement. Deploy API discovery, inventory management, and risk assessment tools. Protect APIs from DDoS, bot attacks, and abuse with adaptive security models.
Conduct dynamic penetration testing based on the OWASP API Security Top 10. Perform manual security testing to identify business logic flaws and API misuse cases. Analyze false positives to reduce noise and focus on critical vulnerabilities.
Continuously track API activity to detect anomalies and prevent breaches. Use threat intelligence and correlation to mitigate evolving API threats. Implement automated security alerts and incident response playbooks.
Ensure PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, RBI, and SEBI compliance. Conduct security audits of API management platforms. Perform cryptographic reviews and session management assessments.

and Compliance
Use Cases
The Integrated Security Assurance Program (iSAP) addresses critical security challenges organizations face throughout the applications & technology stack. Below are key use cases where iSAP can significantly improve security operations:
API Discovery and Risk Assessment
Organizations often lack visibility into their API landscape. Our solution identifies shadow APIs, deprecated endpoints, and security risks to ensure full security coverage.
Identity and Access Management for Large-Scale APIs
We secure API access with OAuth, OpenID Connect, and identity federation to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data.
Securing Financial Transactions
Banks and financial institutions face API threats like fraud, account takeovers, and payment gateway exploits. We provide API threat modeling, penetration testing, and transaction security to protect financial APIs.
API Security for
E-Commerce and Digital Services
E-commerce APIs are vulnerable to coupon abuse, data scraping, and cart manipulation. Our security controls prevent automated threats, API abuse, and business logic attacks
