- API Security: Threats, Best Practices, Challenges, and Way forward using AI -- by CSIRT-Fin, CERT-In and Mastercard -> CIWP-2023-0001
An Application Programming Interface (API) is a data connection allowing data to be shared with other applications. They can be viewed as digital middlemen between organisations / enterprises and platforms that need to access data for driving innovation, increasing reach, discover new business models, increase partner network, etc.
Guidelines
- Guidelines for Secure Application Design, Development, Implementation & Operations
- Guidelines on Information Security Practices for Government Entities
One of the key reason for vulnerabilities in the applications are lack of secure design, development, implementation, and operations. Relying solely on post-development audits for security is inadequate.
Best Practices
- Cyber Security Handbook for Mahila Suraksha
- Digital Payment Suraksha
- Security for personal computer
- Security Tips for common users
- Infosecawareness.in
On the occasion of International Women's Day, CERT-In is releasing "Cyber Security Handbook for Mahila Suraksha" booklet to educate women across the country on Cyber security best practices.
