Sensitive Data breach from APIs impacts customer trust

APIs of government agencies can be exploited, leading to information theft. Data breaches would compromise citizen information and national security.

Non-compliance can result in heavy penalties

Public sector organizations must meet strict regulatory requirements such as FISMA and GDPR. Non-compliance can result in legal consequences and reputational damage.

Lack of API assets and misconfigurations

APIs are used to facilitate data sharing between government agencies. Misconfigured APIs can lead to unauthorized access and data breaches.
