Defender for APIs provides visibility into crucial APIs. It facilitates a deep dive into your API security, allowing prioritization of vulnerabilities and quick detection of active threats. Key features include a consolidated view of managed APIs with security insights on external, inactive, or unauthenticated APIs, data classifications of sensitive data in API interactions, and machine learning-driven detection of API threats in alignment with the OWASP API Top 10.
