OWASP API Security ProjectThis project seeks to address the ever-increasing number of organizations that are deploying potentially sensitive APIs as part of their software offerings. These APIs are used for internal tasks and to interface with third parties. Unfortunately, many APIs do not undergo the rigorous security testing that would render them secure from attack. The OWASP API Security Project seeks to provide value to software developers and security assessors by underscoring the potential risks in insecure APIs and illustrating how these risks may be mitigated. In order to facilitate this goal, the OWASP API Security Project will create and maintain a Top 10 API Security Risks document, as well as a documentation portal for best practices when creating or assessing APIs. DescriptionWhile working as developers or information security consultants, many people have encountered APIs as part of a project. While there are some resources to help create and evaluate these projects (such as the OWASP REST Security Cheat Sheet), there has not be a comprehensive security project designed to assist builders, breakers, and defenders in the community. This project aims to create:

What is the OWASP API Security Project?The OWASP API Security Project seeks to deliver actionable documentation on creating and deploying verifiably secure web APIs, as well as illustrating the major risks and shortfalls that APIs may encounter. By helping developers create resilient software, and helping assessors understand the subtle risks an API may entail, the goal of this project is to bring security to an increasingly programmatic world. PresentationThe OWASP API Security Project will be presented in 2016.
