Our Mission

The API Security University (APIsecU) was founded on the belief that web application programming interfaces (APIs) are a vital pipeline for data to flow across the Internet. We realized that APIs are a leading attack vector for criminals and are continuously being adopted by organizations without sufficient security controls in place. At scale, this situation creates a perfect storm for criminals to breach data, devastate businesses, and expose sensitive information worldwide.

Recognizing this growing threat, we identified an urgent need for educational resources dedicated to application security.

APIsecU is committed to empowering defenders with the knowledge and skills they need to protect APIs effectively. Our mission is to provide accessible, high-quality, and free content to the global community of security professionals, IT specialists, developers, and organizations.

Through our educational platform, we aim to foster a community of defenders who can help discover and reduce vulnerabilities, enhance the resilience of APIs against evolving threats, and continuously help organizations protect their users and data from attacks.

May your API security experience be filled with prosperous bounties, the discovery of new CVEs, the inspiration to share your knowledge, and a deep satisfaction for helping prevent the next data breach.
