API Security Audit: What to Review Before Integrating AI
Before connecting AI, automation, or agents to a system, review API security. Useful integrations also expand the attack surface.
Initial checklist
- Strong authentication and scoped tokens. - Authorization by user, role, and resource. - Rate limits for sensitive endpoints. - Input validation on public surfaces. - Secrets outside the codebase and easy to rotate. - Logs that support audits.
Common AI integration risks
Risk increases when prompts carry sensitive data, internal tools execute actions without confirmation, or agents receive broad permissions.
Conclusion
AI and automation can accelerate delivery, but they need clear technical boundaries. A short audit can prevent expensive incidents.
