Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself how secure your APIs really are?Not how secure they are supposed to be.Not how secure the documentation claims they are.But how secure they are right now, under real traffic, real users, and real attackers.APIs are the backbone of modern software-and yet they are often the easiest way in. Why do so many breaches begin with a single exposed endpoint? Why do authenticated users still access data they shouldn't? Why do rate limits fail, tokens leak, and business logic get abused even in mature systems?These are not theoretical questions. They are the same questions attackers ask long before customers notice anything is wrong.This book is written for those who refuse to accept "good enough" when it comes to security. It does not assume APIs are safe-it challenges that assumption. It examines API designs the way attackers do, asking uncomfortable questions and showing how to answer them with clarity and control.Do you know exactly who is calling your APIs?Do you trust your authentication flow-or are you just hoping it works?Are authorization checks consistent across every service, endpoint, and version?What happens when automation hits your APIs at scale?If something goes wrong, would you know before users do?Rather than talking at you, this book walks with you. It guides you through your API architecture, identity model, infrastructure, and assumptions-exposing silent failure points and explaining why so many "secure" APIs fail under real-world pressure.Security is not just about blocking attackers. It is about controlling behavior.Authentication does not equal trust.Authorization failures are almost always logic failures.Inside, you'll explore: Why APIs have become the primary attack surface for modern applicationsHow broken authentication and authorization emerge in production systemsWhat abuse looks like before it becomes a breachHow attackers chain small weaknesses into full compromisesHow to design APIs that remain secure as they evolve, scale, and integrateThis is not checklist security, theory, or fear-driven guidance. It focuses on defensive thinking, early detection of dangerous patterns, and engineering APIs that are resilient by design-not just protected by layers of tools.You'll learn why abuse prevention matters as much as access control, why visibility is as critical as prevention, and why many teams discover security issues only after damage has already occurred.Most importantly, you stop guessing.You understand why certain approaches fail, when controls must be enforced, and how APIs should behave under stress and misuse.Whether you're building internal services, public platforms, partner integrations, or high-risk systems, this book helps you answer the one question that matters most: If someone tried to break this today-would you see it, and could you stop it?If these questions made you pause and rethink your systems, this book was written for you.
