At number one, we have API security and cyber security. As long as there've been APIs, there have been hackers who have been searching for vulnerabilities in those APIs. API security and cyber security is of critical importance for every organization, especially now. Nobody wants to be in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Earlier, Gartner had predicted that by 2022, API abuses would move from infrequent, to the most frequent attack vector. The growth in not only the number of APIs, but the exponential increase in API usage has made this prediction all the more impactful on businesses around the world.
According to a more recent Gartner CIO and Technical Executive Survey, cyber and information security are at the top of the list for planned investments in 2022. This is not surprising as business leaders are feeling the pressure to put budget and resources behind cybersecurity to protect their APIs, data, customers, and reputation of their companies. Closely related to API cybersecurity is the topic of encryption and privacy. Organizations are increasing their understanding and proper implementation of encryption to protect their data.
Everything from storage and transmission of data requires a critical security eye when planning and implementing DevOps security. Privacy is also directly related to API cybersecurity as an essential key to securing the privacy of users and employees. Not only data need to be secured, but sometimes the best decision is not to store the data at all. Now there are a lot of government regulations surrounding privacy in certain parts of the world, but security and privacy requirements can also drive a strategy that reduces unnecessary data storage to protect both consumers and enterprises alike.
