App APIs can, in addition, be activated with IoT (Internet of Things) devices, be used via a traditional Web browser or through the more intuitive and modern mobile-apps. <strong>The problem is that it is precisely in this interaction between us and Apps that the most insidious risks are hidden today.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this new scenario it is therefore necessary to have tools such as innovative <strong>WAAP (Web Application and API Protection)<\/strong> technologies to protect both Web Apps and App APIs, capable of defending both users and companies from threats, at the various stages of use and interaction with these services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In particular, in our <strong>WAP CyLAB<\/strong>, <strong>DGS<\/strong> experts analyze the different phases of user-service interaction:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>on-Connect<\/strong>, checks the initial connection phase between user (via his device and client) and the service;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>on-Request<\/strong>, examines the requests the client makes to the service;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>on-Response<\/strong>, ensures that the expected response matches the request.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In all these steps of interaction, users are vulnerable to possible cyber attacks, but thanks to <strong>WAAP<\/strong> technology, live or runtime (in jargon), <strong>we can detect and block known and new attacks, protecting<\/strong> <strong>our clients\u2019 web applications and APIs<\/strong> from threats and fraudulent activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find out what other areas we operate in at our <strong>CyLABs<\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dgsspa.com\/en\/dgs-cylabs\/\">CLICK
