OWASP API 2023 Dashboard

The OWASP API Security Top 10 is a gold standard for the evaluation of security risk in APIs. To help you measure your API's security posture against these API threats, Wallarm offers the dashboard that provides clear visibility and metrics for threat mitigation.

Covering the OWASP API Security Top 10 2023, the dashboard allows you to assess the overall security state and proactively implement security controls to address identified issues.

Threat assessment

Wallarm estimates the risk for each API threat based on applied security controls and discovered vulnerabilities:

  • Red - it happens if there are no security controls applied or your APIs have active high risk vulnerabilities.

  • Yellow - it happens if security controls are only partially applied or your APIs have active medium or low risk vulnerabilities.

  • Green indicates that your APIs are protected and do not have open vulnerabilities.
