Telefónica is one of the largest telecommunications service providers in the world. The company offers fixed and mobile connectivity as well as a wide range of digital services for residential and business customers. With 383 million customers, the company operates in Europe and Latin America. Telefónica is a 100% listed company and its shares are traded on the Spanish Stock Market and on those in New York and Lima.
Given the critical nature of telecommunications data and services, Telefónica places paramount importance on security. Protecting customer data and ensuring the reliability of their services are essential components of their mission. Their journey into enhancing API security testing was driven by the need to safeguard a vast array of APIs without impeding their rapid development cycles.
Telefónica's traditional approach to API security involved manual penetration testing, which was both time-consuming and resource-intensive. These manual tests often took weeks to complete, hindering their ability to deploy new APIs swiftly and meet the fast-paced demands of the telecommunications industry.
Implementing security measures traditionally required significant code changes and manual interventions. This complexity disrupted development workflows, making it challenging for developers to focus on innovation while also ensuring security compliance.
Existing security solutions were often reactive rather than proactive, detecting vulnerabilities only after deployment. Telefónica needed a solution that could identify and address security issues early in the development process, reducing risks before APIs went live.
To overcome these challenges, Telefónica integrated Pynt's automated API security testing into their development lifecycle. Key aspects of the solution included:
By automating the security testing process, Telefónica dramatically reduced the time required for API security analysis from weeks to minutes. This acceleration allowed for faster deployment of secure APIs, supporting the goals of our technical projects.
Developers benefited from immediate visibility into potential vulnerabilities within their APIs. The integration of Pynt into their workflows meant they could focus on development tasks without being slowed down by cumbersome security processes.
Pynt's proactive approach to security testing enabled Telefónica to catch vulnerabilities early, reducing security risks across their API offerings. This early detection minimized the likelihood of security incidents post-deployment.
Automating security testing freed up valuable resources within the security team. Without the need for time-consuming manual testing, the team could allocate their efforts toward strategic initiatives and innovation.
Telefónica's partnership with Pynt has significantly enhanced their API security testing capabilities. By automating and integrating security analysis into their development lifecycle, they have achieved a balance between rapid innovation and robust security. Pynt's solution aligns perfectly with Telefónica's need for efficient, scalable, and proactive security measures, enabling them to confidently advance their technical projects.
