The Silent Killer for Startups: A Founder's Guide to API Security in 2025

Описание: Exposed API endpoints are a major threat that can lead to data breaches, financial loss, and reputational damage for startups. This video, inspired by "The Silent Killer for Startups: A Founder's Security Checklist," provides a comprehensive guide to securing your APIs.

We dive into a 12-point checklist for founders and developers, covering essential security measures such as:

Enforcing HTTPS
Implementing proper authentication (JWT) and authorization
Input validation to prevent injections
Rate limiting to stop DDoS attacks
Minimizing data exposure*

We also introduce an open-source API security audit framework to help you identify and fix vulnerabilities before they become a problem. This framework is production-ready and supports testing for REST, GraphQL, and modern API architectures.

This is a must-watch for any tech founder or developer looking to build unbreakable tech and avoid catastrophic security breaches.
