Web Services & APIs: Impact on M&A and Other Transactions - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Just as most software assets contain open source, modern software applications commonly include third party software functionality via calls to external web services via APIs. By using web services, developers may be inadvertently signing their companies up to terms of service or using a web service without a suitable agreement. Using these services can expose a company to compliance, security, data privacy, and operational risks that could disrupt or severely affect the business.
