API security is not an afterthought but a fundamental design consideration. This article covers the full spectrum of securing Laravel APIs, from token-based authentication with Sanctum to role-based access control.

We examine common attack vectors including CSRF, XSS, SQL injection, and mass assignment, along with the Laravel middleware and validation rules that prevent them.

The guide also covers rate limiting, request signing, audit logging, and monitoring strategies that provide defense in depth for production applications.
