FAQ

What is API security?

API security is the practice of preventing, and mitigating, attacks on APIs. It is a rapidly growing segment within application security, increasing alongside the growing use of APIs in applications, as well as the sensitive data that APIs often transfer.

How can you secure APIs?

Traditionally, organizations secured and blocked attacks against APIs using an API gateway or web application firewall (WAF). However, these solutions require AppSec teams to configure protection for each individual API, typically by providing API documentation such as Swagger files, and therefore cannot protect shadow or zombie APIs.
Checkmarx shifts left to secure APIs, scanning application source code to discover and inventory every API defined in the application. This allows organizations to remediate vulnerabilities in API code, including for undocumented, shadow, and zombie APIs. Then, we integrate right to correlate our API insight with solutions like DAST to help customers better protect live APIs.

What is a shadow API?

A shadow API is another name for an undocumented API. Traditional API security solutions, like WAFs and API gateways, require documentation to configure protection – they cannot protect what they don’t know AppSec teams are often not aware of these APIs and refer to these as shadow APIs.

What is a zombie API?

A zombie API is an API that has been abandoned or forgotten. Organizations can inadvertently create a zombie API when creating a new version of an API. In this situation, organizations may choose to leave the original API in production for a limited time, to ease the migration of users and traffic to the new API. However, they may forget to decommission it after the migration, resulting in a zombie API.
