Securing a REST API Server

Nowadays, there are more sources of cyber-threats and more cyber-attacks that target all kind of victim profiles. From big companies with big architectures, to small businesses that only have a web site as a platform to sell or advertise themselves. Hence, the need of security awareness among users,...
