An API is secure by default when using it correctly produces secure behavior automatically, and producing insecure behavior requires deliberate effort.</p> <p>Most security failures are not the result of sophisticated attacks on well-designed systems. They&rsquo;re the result of developers using APIs incorrectly, making incorrect assumptions about what defaults are safe, or forgetting to add security checks that should have been built in.</p>
