Ultimate Guide to API Security Risks in Retail

We break down the most critical API security threats facing retailers in 2025—from unmonitored shadow APIs and forgotten zombie endpoints to widespread exposure to the OWASP API Top 10. Learn how attackers exploit gaps in visibility, outdated endpoints, and misconfigured access controls to breach data and disrupt operations.


Whether you’re leading a security program at an omnichannel retailer or managing compliance across digital platforms, this guide will give you practical strategies to:

  • Identify and eliminate undocumented APIs across your stack

  • Avoid compliance violations caused by forgotten services

  • Detect broken object-level and function-level authorization risks

  • Build a full-lifecycle API security program—from development to runtime

Learn how to build a proactive, code-to-runtime API security strategy tailored for modern retail environments.
