Time to take API security more seriously, says Tom Gillis, VMware, on Forbes. He recommends:

- Consider all APIs a threat
- Keep an up-to-date inventory of APIs.
- Look inside the API payloads to spot suspicious behavior.
- Get serious about DevSecOps

Back from vacation & picking up after 550 client inquiries so far in 2021. Inquiries 551 & 552 have been (1) on API security and (2) on team structure to deliver and manage APIs. *VERY* common inquiry topics and I would not be surprised to have 100 more on each topic by year end.

😎JSON Schema is code too, and you should write tests for your schemas!

Go write tests! 🚀

"digital-first enterprises need an understanding of any problems outside of their own IT infrastructure in order to collate the proof of the issue before they can request action from a third party. "

Amazon APIs give a lot more detailed location information on delivery employees than their app needs. @FlyingPhishy / @PenTestPartners found that they could track the entire preceding route (not just last 10 stops) and at extreme precision.
