Case Study: API Security Assessment

Background

Fortune 100 US Company in 71 countries

Challenges

Company leverages applications for daily management/governance of payroll, IT, helpdesk. These applications are distributed globally across internal/external stakeholders/ 3rd Parties exposing multiple entry points, PII & integrations and weaknesses. On top of that, there were both internal & external resistances. Internal resistance as being audited by external entities was frowned upon. External resistance as Security elements were outsourced to a big IT service provider. For the Service Provider, it was a decade long project, so obvious was the resistance to be pried upon by an external auditor.
