Don't let your APIs become risks

APIs speed software creation by letting developers hook into app data and business logic. But the unique access APIs have to apps makes them big attack vectors–90% of apps contain more risk in the form of exposed APIs than the UI itself. Bugcrowd API Pen Tests (a Bugcrowd PTaaS solution) plug directly into your dev lifecycle to find vulns that go undetected by old-school testing and scans, helping to ensure that your digital transformation journey isn’t cut short by a breach.

Find and fix common issues fast

Our API pen tests look for misconfigured services and DNS, logic errors, weak credentials, and more to find hidden flaws.

Go deep and wide

are thorough and deep, including reconnaissance, enumeration, scanning, and exploitation steps.

Rely on battle-tested standards

Our testing methodology follows industry-standard best practices from OWASP, PTES, and OSSTMM.

Use the right pentesters and tools for the task

We combine human-driven testing by a curated team of experts with scanners and custom tooling to get the high-impact results you want.

Curated Pentester Teams

Use a team your assets deserve

Other pen test providers rely on a cookie-cutter approach regardless of your specific assets, environment, or needs–virtually guaranteeing low-impact results. Instead, we use the power of CrowdMatch^TM AI in our platform to curate qualified, motivated pentester teams for your precise requirements, boosting high-quality results over other methods.

Penetration Test Dashboard

See results as they happen

Never be in the dark about your pen test results again. You can view prioritized findings, action items, analytics, and pentester progress 24/7 through the methodology checklist in a rich dashboard designed specifically for pen testing workflows. When ready, your final report is available for download from the same dashboard. Similar experiences for your other Bugcrowd solutions are just clicks away.
