API security goes beyond just a technical concern; it’s directly tied to trust, customer experience, and, ultimately, the overall profitability of the business. APIs handle sensitive data, powering everything from payment systems to user account access. If an API isn’t secure, that data—and by extension, your entire business—is at risk.
