[The Risks of Manual User Provisioning | Ping Identity]() Posted: Tuesday, May 31, 2022 [User provisioning, or user account provisioning](), is a vital part of providing workers access to all the applications, documents, and other data they need to do their jobs. IAM managers know that provisioning done poorly creates problems with employee onboarding and offboarding, thus straining relationships between departments and adding unnecessary stress across an organization. Employees are frustrated when they don't have the access they need. Governance, risk, security, and compliance teams are frustrated when employees have too much access or access they don't need or, worse, when poor offboarding doesn't remove access for someone who has left the organization.

Web API security includes API access control and privacy, as well as the detection and remediation of attacks on APIs through API reverse engineering and the exploitation of API vulnerabilities as described in OWASP API Security Top 10. Whether an application is targeting consumers, employees, partners or otherwise, the client-side of an application (e.g., a mobile app, a web app) interacts with the server-side of an application via an Application Programming Interface (API).
