Digital transformation has resulted into an API-first economy where every organization is integrating deeper with customers, partners & suppliers. APIs are the gateways powering this integration. As per a Kong report in 2023, APIs will have a projected global economic impact of $14.2 trillion by 2027 – that’s more than the GDP of the UK, Japan, France, and Australia combined. As APIs drive growth, every organization will need to implement robust security systems in place for their APIs.

While shifting security left has been a hot topic for around a decade, many organizations still face issues trying to make it a reality. There are many misconceptions about what shift left means and what it looks like for development teams to take ownership of security without derailing their existing workflows.

Not long ago, most company resources were located within a defined perimeter and users worked in the office using company-owned devices. In that world, access-centric security policies were enough to safeguard sensitive data. But most organizations have now adopted a host of cloud applications, and users work from anywhere on any device and network. To secure sensitive data in this new setup, organizations must transition from an access-centric approach to a data-centric security approach.

When it comes to securing applications in the cloud, adaptation is not just a strategy but a necessity. We’re currently experiencing a monumental shift driven by the mass adoption of AI, fundamentally changing the way companies operate. From optimizing efficiency through automation to transforming the customer experience with speed and personalization, AI has empowered developers with exciting new capabilities.

The industry’s first identity detection and response (ITDR) analyst report names CrowdStrike an Overall Leader and a “cyber industry force.” In KuppingerCole Leadership Compass, Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) 2024: IAM Meets the SOC, CrowdStrike was named a Leader in every category — Product, Innovation, Market and Overall Ranking — and positioned the highest for Innovation among all eight vendors evaluated.

For many fresh out of college, the drive to land that first professional role is a top priority. Yet, new graduates can be exposed to sophisticated scams that can jeopardize not just their finances but also their identities. Imagine receiving an email that mentions your former school dean or a professor, claiming they've personally recommended you for a fantastic job opportunity.

We're excited to announce the availability of Polaris Assist, our AI-powered application security assistant that combines decades of real-world insights with a powerful large language model (LLM). Polaris Assist gives security and development teams easy-to-understand summaries of detected vulnerabilities and code fix recommendations to help them build secure software faster.

If the UK is serious about digitizing the economy, then cybersecurity is priority number one and the first step should be to take a hard look at the UK Government's recently released draft code of practice for cybersecurity governance. Whilst governments around the globe have been kicking around the metaphorical can of AI regulation, something has been going on in the background: something tangible, incredibly dangerous, and increasingly more frequent: cybercrime.

As adversaries become faster and stealthier, they relentlessly search for vulnerable assets to exploit. Meanwhile, your digital footprint is expanding, making it increasingly challenging to keep track of all of your assets. It’s no wonder 76% of breaches in 2023 were due to unknown and unmanaged internet-facing assets. Against this backdrop, it’s more critical than ever for organizations to maintain a continuous and comprehensive understanding of their entire attack surface.
