What is API Security... no seriously what is it actually?
Unfortunately this important cyber domain is one of the most often misunderstood and quite rightly so as it's never really been properly defined.
Some say API security is a generic moniker for modern application security, while there is some truth to that, I think this might be taking it a little far.
My guess is that the as the space evolves Gartner and others will hopefully better classify the problem set, capabilities of tools and vendors, etc to bring more sense to what a "complete API security platform" really means.
In the meantime, you are welcome to get our opinions on the matter @ Ghost Security
imho 99% of software we interact with daily online, on our iPads or inside our cars is API. AI is API. Does it need security? Is it secure today? How do we screen and protect data sent to APIs and shared in response, say, by GenAI?
err, uhm, it's the new firewall!?
Joking aside, with so many businesses becoming an app or modernizing business processes with an app, the API has evolved from the simple data go-getter of yesteryear to THE business' authentication, access control and authorization mechanism. Woah, that's a leap!
The Good, Fast, Cheap dilemma developers face every day, combined with the decades-old dogma of "cyber folk do the cybers," has created a perfect storm of the modern API, the front door to every business, not being as secure as it needs to be.
The Firewall is Dead; Long Live The Firewall. I still love the blinky lights on my enterprise (home) network, and of course, networks and securing those networks are still important. But we must acknowledge that we have ascended beyond the network security layer of abstraction and must focus our energies on where authentication, access control, and authorization (and others) actually happen—at the API.

EFFICIENTLY PROTECT, MONITOR AND CONTROL PRIVILEGED ACCESS ACROSS ON-PREMISES, CLOUD AND HYBRID INFRASTRUCTURE
Privileged accounts are exploited in nearly every cyber attack. Bad actors can use privileged accounts to disable systems, take control of critical IT infrastructure and gain access to confidential business data and personal information.
