APIs need to be protected as they allow direct entry to confidential business information. There are an overwhelming number of apps in our surroundings, many of which are used without our consent or awareness and with insufficient security measures. The asset discovery tool from F5 Distributed Cloud API Security can assist us in reducing this issue in many cases. Furthermore, having bot protection is a beneficial attribute.
