A company uses an API to share sensitive customer data with third-party partners.

Mask or obfuscate sensitive data, such as passwords and API keys, to protect it from unauthorized access.

Impose API rate limits to prevent abuse and protect against denial-of-service attacks.

Encrypt API data from the client to the server and back, which ensures confidentiality at all stages of transmission.

Employ robust authentication to verify the identity of users and grants access based on predefined roles and permissions.
