# Testing API Security with OWASP Top 10
## When to Use
- During authorized API penetration testing engagements
- When assessing REST, GraphQL, or gRPC APIs for security vulnerabilities
- Before deploying new API endpoints to production environments
- When reviewing API security posture against the OWASP API Security Top 10 (2023)
- For validating API gateway security controls and rate limiting effectiveness
### How to CONFIRM a Hit (avoid false negatives)
- **Positive signal**: each OWASP-API risk needs its **own concrete proof** that the protected behavior actually occurred — confirm in the response body/effect, never from a status code alone.
- Tie every finding to a specific confirmation step for that risk:
