Hire API Security Experts | Nearshore Software Development
APIs are the new perimeter, and they are a prime target for attackers. You need an expert who can help you design, build, and operate secure APIs that protect your data and your business. Our vetting process, powered by Axiom Cortex™, finds engineers who are masters of API security. We test their ability to implement robust authentication and authorization, to protect against the OWASP API Security Top 10, and to build a secure API development lifecycle.
The Problem
APIs are a common target for a wide range of attacks, from broken authentication and injection flaws to denial-of-service attacks. A single vulnerability can lead to a major data breach.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We vet for engineers who are experts in the OWASP API Security Top 10. They must demonstrate the ability to identify and mitigate the most common API security risks, ensuring your APIs are resilient to attack.
The Problem
A complex and inconsistent approach to authentication and authorization can lead to security holes and a poor developer experience.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our engineers are proficient in modern authentication and authorization standards like OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect. They are vetted on their ability to design and implement a robust and easy-to-use security model for your APIs.
The Problem
Accidentally logging sensitive data like passwords, API keys, or personally identifiable information (PII) is a common but serious security mistake. It creates a massive compliance risk and makes your logs a prime target for attackers.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our experts are masters of secure logging. We vet their ability to implement proper log filtering and data masking to ensure that sensitive data is never written to your logs, protecting your customers and your business.
The Problem
Returning detailed error messages and stack traces to the client can reveal information about your internal system architecture, library versions, and data structures. This information is a goldmine for an attacker.
The TeamStation AI Solution
We hire engineers who understand the principle of information hiding. They are vetted on their ability to design APIs that return generic, non-informative error messages to the client while logging the detailed error information securely on the server side for debugging.
How We Measure Seniority: From L1 to L4 Certified Expert
