The API Risk Dashboard provides a comprehensive, real-time overview of the organization’s API risk status. It consolidates risk data from all APIs and calculates an overall risk score based on the highest-risk API in the organization. The dashboard highlights the top 5 APIs with the highest risk, maps traffic from high-risk countries, and visualizes trends in suspicious and malicious traffic over a selected time period.

Risk total score

The risk score is categorized by severity:

  • Critical: 80-100
  • High: 60-80
  • Medium: 40-60
  • Low: Below 40

Top APIs by risk score

The table displays the top 5 APIs with the highest individual risk scores, highlighting the most vulnerable APIs. For each API, details are provided on:

  • Detected PII (Personally Identifiable Information): The amount of sensitive data identified within the API, indicating exposure risk.
  • Findings: Shows the count of security findings associated with the API.
  • Requests: Provides the volume of requests processed, helping indicate traffic and potential points of interaction.
  • Endpoints: Lists the number of endpoints, illustrating the API’s exposure and complexity.

Risk graph

A visual representation of aggregate malicious and suspicious API traffic over time, offering insight into trends and potential threat patterns. Hovering over different points on the graph provides a breakdown of API requests during specific time intervals. 

Filter to view suspicious or malicious traffic separately.

Traffic map

A geographical map illustrating API traffic from high-risk countries. 

The number of API requests per high-risk country is displayed below the map, giving detailed visibility into regional traffic.
