Breaking into an organisation’s IT infra doesn’t always require complex methods. Hackers often exploit normal applications and API functions in unexpected ways to access sensitive data. For example, the 2019 Venmo breach involved the exploitation of an open API to scrape millions of payment records.

Your organization deals with various forms of sensitive information. It could be company secrets, customer data, or proprietary research — whatever the case, security should be your top priority. This is especially true given the heightened security concerns worldwide, with malicious actors targeting businesses everywhere.
