API security has emerged as a core DevOps responsibility not just an AppSec concern

As APIs increasingly drive modern applications—from microservices to AI integrations—they have become the most targeted attack vector. Rapid development cycles in DevOps environments expose new or shadow endpoints that often lack proper security oversight. Traditional application security tools are insufficient to assess dynamic API risks. Therefore managing API security within DevOps pipelines is essential: developers and operations must own API security by embedding automated testing, access controls, continuous discovery and runtime monitoring into CI/CD workflows. This shift enables early vulnerability detection, consistent governance, and shared responsibility—transforming API risks into integral DevOps practices while improving resilience and reducing costly breaches.
