API & Microservices
Modern applications depend on APIs and microservices to power mobile apps, SaaS platforms, and partner integrations. These endpoints often expose authentication, user data, financial workflows, and administrative functions. Our API & Microservices Security Testing identifies weaknesses in authentication, authorization, input validation, and rate limiting. We simulate real abuse scenarios and analyze trust boundaries between services to ensure APIs remain secure under both normal and malicious usage.

Methodology Overview
We enumerate exposed endpoints, validate authentication and authorization controls, simulate abuse scenarios, and test schema enforcement across REST and GraphQL APIs.
Our Methodology
We follow a systematic, multi-phased approach to ensure every vulnerability is identified, verified, and reported with actionable remediation steps.
API Enumeration
Mapping endpoints, methods, and authentication mechanisms
Authentication & Authorization Testing
Validating token handling and access control logic
Abuse Scenario Testing
Simulating automation, scraping, and business logic abuse
Input & Schema Validation
Testing injection risks and schema enforcement
Microservice Trust Analysis
Reviewing service-to-service trust boundaries
Frequently Asked Questions
Q.Why is API security testing important?
APIs expose core business logic and sensitive data. If compromised, attackers can bypass traditional controls and access backend systems directly.
Q.Do you test GraphQL APIs?
Yes. We test REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs, including schema validation and resolver logic.
Q.Can APIs expose sensitive data unintentionally?
Yes. Improper response filtering or authorization checks can lead to excessive data exposure.
Common Vulnerabilities Covered
We test for the full spectrum of modern security threats, ensuring your assets are resilient against real-world exploits.

Unauthorized access to objects and resources
Excessive Data Exposure
APIs returning sensitive data beyond necessity
Broken Authentication
Weak token or credential validation
Mass Assignment
Over-posting and unsafe parameter binding
Lack of Rate Limiting
APIs vulnerable to automated abuse and scraping
Security Misconfigurations
Improper API gateway or service settings
