PAPER
End-to-end protection of your app and its APIs

There’s a trust problem in API security. Mobile apps can enable client-side protections like RASP and code hardening to protect their APIs. But it doesn’t solve the verification problem: how can you know for certain that the app calling your APIs is legitimate?

For complete mobile API security, server-side protections are a necessary complement to client-side protections. Enabling client and server-side defenses protects not just your app from opening the door to bad actors, but its inner workings, data, and users as well.

What you’ll learn in this report

Learn how to bridge the gap between client- and server-side protections to trust calls to your APIs:

• Discover why you shouldn’t inherently trust your client when it comes to API requests
• Understand and know how to defend against the different attack vectors for API abuse - including bots, automated scripts, and tampered apps
• Gain insight into how to proactively protect your client-side with RASP
• Uncover the benefits of app attestation for stopping API abuse
• Establish a unified mobile app API security strategy by complementing RASP with app attestation

Defend your app’s data, APIs, and secrets

Know and understand the risks facing your app’s APIs so you can implement robust API defenses against malicious actors. Arm your app with complete end-to-end protection with a complementary defense-in-depth strategy to verify the trust of the application contacting your server side.
