API vulnerabilities are increasingly considered security liabilities in modern software, largely due to their presence in CI/CD pipelines, necessitating faster integration of security measures.
To securely handle API keys on the server side, consider using environment variables to store sensitive information, avoiding hardcoding in the application code.
Microservices are typically organized around API handlers that interact with databases and external clients, creating a structure susceptible to vulnerabilities related to data management and service interactions.
A proactive and holistic application security strategy is critical in securing applications, regardless of their type, to defend against potential threats and align with business requirements.
