Lesson 4 - API Security Fundamentals – Protecting APIs from Common Attacks (Spring Boot)

In Lesson 4, we introduce API Security Fundamentals and explain why APIs are one of the most targeted components in modern systems. Before jumping into authentication, authorization, and advanced protections, this lesson builds the security mindset every backend engineer needs. We’ll look at what API security really means, what we’re protecting, why APIs are attacked more than UIs, and how simple design mistakes lead to massive breaches. You’ll learn: What API security is and why it matters Why most security breaches are preventable Common API attack surfaces (endpoints, headers, payloads, configs) How attackers think and exploit weak assumptions The tradeoff between security, performance, and developer velocity Real-world consequences of insecure APIs How this course will teach security using real vulnerabilities and fixes This lesson sets the foundation for upcoming hands-on topics like injection attacks, input validation, authentication, authorization, HTTPS/TLS, rate limiting, and secrets management using Java & Spring Boot. 📌 Next lesson: Injection attacks explained + SQL injection demo and fixes. 👍 Like, comment, and subscribe if this helped you 💬 Questions and improvements are always welcome Follow me on my socials to connect and see more awesome stuff 📌 *GitHub:* [https://github.com/NganeEmmanue](https://github.com/NganeEmmanue) 💼 *LinkedIn:* [  / ngane-emmanuel-b25242150  ](  / ngane-emmanuel-b25242150  ) 📸 *Instagram:* @nganeemmanuel Github Repo: https://github.com/NganeEmmanuel/SFLL...
