APIs power the modern web, connecting applications and services in ways that drive innovation and efficiency. However, with this interconnectivity comes significant security risks. The Open Worldwide Application Security Project (OWASP) has identified the Top 10 API security risks, highlighting the most critical vulnerabilities that organizations face today.

To help developers, security teams, and IT professionals mitigate these risks, we’re excited to introduce a new Snyk Learn path focused on the OWASP API Security Top 10. This interactive learning path is designed to give you a deep understanding of API security threats and how to defend against them.

Whether you’re a developer integrating APIs into your applications, a security engineer responsible for safeguarding data, or an IT leader looking to enhance your organization’s security posture, this course is for you. Our lessons will walk you through key risks and equip you with the knowledge and best practices to secure your APIs effectively.

Two sections with text describing API security vulnerabilities: "Broken object property level authorization" with an icon of a document and a lock, and "Unrestricted resource consumption" with a cloud and server rack icon. Both have arrows for selection.

By completing this learning path, you’ll gain hands-on experience with real-world scenarios and actionable strategies to fortify your API security. This is a perfect opportunity for any of our Probely by Snyk users to gain practical knowledge you can apply to improve your API & Web security!

If you haven’t checked out our other learning paths, including the OWASP Top 10, OWASP Top 10 for GenAI & LL, and Snyk Top 10, you can do so for free at Snyk Learn! Don’t forget to sign up and collect your certificate of completion and share it with your network!
