Unmasking the Top Five Cloud Computing Security Threats Lurking in Shadows

Insecure API Endpoints - A Doorway to Disaster

Next up is the issue of insecure API interfaces. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are a critical part of the cloud platform, enabling communication between different software components. However, if an API is insecure, it could be exploited, leading to unauthorized access or data loss.

Implementing robust authentication mechanisms, employing encryption, and adopting API security testing can limit API vulnerabilities. Maintaining proper session management and rate-limiting requests can also improve the safety of these critical system components.
