APIsec can be regarded as a penetration testing tool for APIs. Many tools can scan for common vulnerabilities used in typical attacks such as script injection, but APIsec focuses on testing every aspect of a target API, ensuring that everything from the core network to the endpoints that access it is protected from vulnerabilities in API code.
One major advantage of APIsec is that it can be deployed during the API development stage. Performing a comprehensive scan of an application while it is being built takes only a few minutes, but its results are comparable to old-fashioned penetration testing that used to take days or weeks.
