This Fortinet white paper explains how FortiWeb protects against the OWASP API Security Top 10 threats.

Key risks include broken object- and function-level authorization, broken authentication, excessive data exposure, and SSRF. Newer threats cover unrestricted resource consumption, unsafe consumption of third-party APIs, and improper inventory management. FortiWeb mitigates these with ML-based API discovery, schema validation, rate limiting, bot detection, DDoS rules, and integration with the Fortinet Security Fabric for centralized, layered API security.
