This whitepaper argues that an overreliance on shift-left security and build pipeline scanning leaves critical API risks unaddressed. While SAST, DAST, SCA, schema validation, and vulnerability scanning are valuable for identifying known issues early, they cannot detect business logic abuse, authorization flaws, API drift, or attacks that emerge only through runtime behavior. The paper explains that CVE-focused tooling misses many API weaknesses, which are better described as logic and design failures that evolve over time and across complex call chains. It also highlights practical limits such as incomplete test environments, multiple pipelines, and weak collaboration between security and development teams. The paper concludes that shift-left must be complemented with runtime behavioral a
