Description: API security goes beyond authentication\. Watch this APIContext video on the security challenges teams face across the full API ecosystem\.

## Summary
Security in the API Ecosystem\. API security is often discussed in terms of authentication and authorization\. But in practice, the attack surface extends to undocumented endpoints, behavioural anomalies, and third\-party integrations that were never designed with security in mind\.

### Security in the API Ecosystem
API security is often discussed in terms of authentication and authorization\. But in practice, the attack surface extends to undocumented endpoints, behavioural anomalies, and third\-party integrations that were never designed with security in mind\. This video maps the security landscape teams need to understand when managing APIs in production, covering the gaps that static tools miss and how runtime monitoring contributes to a stronger overall posture\.
