How do you secure sensitive API endpoints?

Junior ASP.NET Web API
Quick Answer Secure sensitive endpoints: require authentication ([Authorize]), enforce HTTPS, apply role/policy authorization, rate limit login and sensitive operations, log all access attempts (with user ID and IP), validate all inputs, use parameterized queries for DB access, and return minimal error details. For extra-sensitive data: add IP allowlisting, require MFA, and audit every access.

Answer

Secure endpoints using:

  • [Authorize] attribute
  • HTTPS enforcement
  • Input validation
  • Rate limiting
  • CORS restrictions
