API is safe? what is the alternative?

"Considering the past few incidents where exchanges had attacks causing
platform users heavy losses. Encrybit team concluded that major vulnerabilities in successful attacks
were found to be in API transportation.

Attacking API and Web Service protocols are the simplest ways for hackers to get control of transactions and get in the system.

API is utilized for algorithms
and third party trading application where it opens a pool of connections, therefore, less secured
is a connection more are the chances of successful attacks.
Then how to stop that risk?
Encrybit is focusing more on the security aspects, therefore having multiple security advisors and information security experts in the team is a plus. With that Encrybit is getting security architecture
services from the best in the industry. The Encrybit security expert team make sure to harden the security layers with accurate SDLC methodology.

security assessment practices include
the secure and modularized coding methods, secured server infrastructure, application & server penetration testing, and ethical hacking practices to make sure the correct implementation of security standards.
