Why API Keys Are Vulnerable and How to Secure Them

APIs now make up more than half of all internet traffic, and API keys are their first line of defense. But when API keys are hard coded, stored insecurely, or never rotated, they become prime targets for attackers and have led to major breaches, including a recent compromise at the U.S. Treasury.

With thousands of keys in use across cloud and development environments, securing them is no longer optional. Static, exposed, or mismanaged API keys create serious risk for data loss, non-compliance, and secrets sprawl.
