Everywhere Highly exposed
Greater likelihood of attack
Constantly being probed
Internet-facing APIs
Custom / domain-speciļ¬c
For employees or contractors
Often built without security
considered

Unknown risk posture
No access to source code
Often process critical data
Vendor APIs
Cloud provider not
responsible for security of
