🛡️ Kill BOLAs Before They Escape
The Technical Guide to Eliminating API Authorization Vulnerabilities
APIs are under attack — and authentication alone won’t save you.
Even with SAST, DAST, WAFs, and gateways in place, attackers are slipping through the cracks. Why? Because BOLA and BOPLA are logic-level flaws that hide where your security tools don’t look.
📉 78% of organizations experienced an API-related security incident last year.
🧠 BOLA remains the #1 threat in the OWASP API Top 10.
🚫 Traditional tools can’t test business logic — but attackers can.
What You’ll Learn in This Paper:
- What BOLA and BOPLA really are — and why they’re so hard to catch
- Why better locks (auth) won’t help if the doors (authz) are wide open
- How authorization logic becomes your real attack surface
- The math behind how a “simple” policy turns into 60+ test cases
- How Aptori’s Sift generates and runs thousands of API tests in seconds
- How to shift-left and shift-right your authorization testing for continuous protection
