Most organizations are exposing sensitive data through APIs without security controls in place, and they may not even realize it, according to Raidiam. Their report, API Security at a Turning Point, draws on a detailed assessment of 68 organizations ac…
In this Help Net Security interview, Joni Klippert, CEO of StackHawk, discusses why API visibility is a major blind spot for security teams, how legacy tools fall short, and how StackHawk identifies risky APIs and sensitive data directly from code befo…
One of the most pressing concerns with AI adoption is data leakage. Consider this: An employee logs into their favorite AI chatbot, pastes sensitive corporate data, and asks for a summary. Just like that, confidential information is ingested into a thi…

In 2024, API requests accounted for 57% of dynamic internet traffic around the globe, according to the Cloudflare 2024 API Security & Management Report, confirming that APIs are a crucial component of modern software development. But with their in…
Threat actors evolved tactics, opting for a more nuanced approach that spread attacks across a broader timeframe to blend in with legitimate traffic and evade detection during peak holiday shopping times, according to Cequence Security. 2023 holiday se…
As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, so does the complexity of API (application programming interface) security. With the proliferation of APIs in modern applications and services, organizations will need to develop a better und…
Of the 239 vulnerabilities, 33% (79 out of 239) were associated with authentication, authorization and access control (AAA) — foundational pillars of API security, according to Wallarm. Prioritizing AAA principles Open authentication (OAuth), single-si…
The security performance of financial applications generally outperforms other industries, with automation, targeted security training, and scanning via Application Programming Interface (API) contributing to a year-over-year reduction in the percentag…
In the rapidly evolving automotive landscape, vehicles are no longer just machines that move us from point A to point B; they have transformed into complex, interconnected systems on wheels. With this transformation, API (Application Programming Interface) security has surged to the forefront of automotive design and engineering. APIs serve as critical gatekeepers, managing the flow of data between the vehicle’s Electronic Control Units (ECUs), external devices, and the cloud. But with great power comes great responsibility. If an API is compromised, the implications can range from privacy breaches to threats to passenger safety. Automotive API security, therefore, is not just a technological challenge, it’s a safety imperative. It’s a thrilling yet daunting frontier, where the lines between software engineering, cybersecurity, and automotive design blur, and where the stakes are high— ensuring the safe and secure transportation of millions, if not billions, of people around the world.
