The Secret Backdoor in Your Firewall... How Attackers Get In WITHOUT Hacking!#cybersecurity#InfoSec

Your WAF is Providing a False Sense of Security Improper network configuration can completely nullify the effectiveness of your Web Application Firewall. If attackers can discover your origin server's direct IP address: They can bypass your expensive security controls entirely. Your "internal" services become externally exposed. You have a massive, unknown gap in your defenses. This animation is a clear example of why security doesn't end with buying a tool. Proper integration and a zero-trust mindset are non-negotiable.

The CISO's Checklist: How to Evaluate an API Security Platform

API Security Evaluation Checklist In the first half of 2025, APIs have emerged as the primary focus for attackers. Unlike traditional broad attacks on websites, threat actors are increasingly exploiting vulnerabilities and launching DDoS attacks on APIs, which are often harder to secure and manage at scale. Key insights from the State of Application Security Report H1 2025.

APIBased JIT Access vs Proxies: Streamlining Secure Cloud Permissions

Breaking down the trade-offs between API integration and proxy gateways for modern access management The way organizations manage access has fundamentally shifted. In the past, infrastructure was mostly static—centralized data centers, long-lived servers, and predictable traffic patterns. You could rely on VPNs, firewalls, and a fixed set of roles in your identity provider. Access paths were clear, and change was infrequent. But that’s no longer the case.

Inside the biggest API breaches (and how to stop the next one)

APIs power the modern digital world — but they’re also the fastest-growing attack surface. In this webinar, we break down the biggest API breaches, their root causes, and how they could have been prevented. What's covered: Featuring: Live insights and a product demo by the Astra Engineering Team.

The Business of API Security: Unpacking the Q3 API ThreatStats Report

Q3 provided us with another opportunity to dig into API vulnerabilities, exploits, and breaches. We'll dive into the details, picking out the trends that impact how you defend your APIs. This quarter's report includes a special focus on business logic abuse. Join the webinar to learn.

When APIs Become Attack Paths: What the Q3 2025 ThreatStats Report Tells Us

Wallarm’s latest Q3 2025 API ThreatStats report reveals that API vulnerabilities, exploits, and breaches are not just increasing; they’re evolving. Malicious actors are shifting from code-level weaknesses to business logic flaws, from web apps to partner integrations, and from REST to AI-powered APIs. Here’s what stood out this quarter, and what security leaders should do about it.

The API vulnerabilities nobody talks about: excessive data exposure

TLDR: Excessive Data Exposure (leaking internal data via API responses) is the silent, pervasive threat that is more dangerous than single dramatic flaws like SQL Injection. It amplifies every other API vulnerability (like BOLA) and happens everywhere because developers prioritize speed over explicit data filtering. Fixing it means systematically checking hundreds of endpoints for unneeded PII and sensitive internal data.

API Attack Awareness: Business Logic Abuse - Exploiting the Rules of the Game

As Cybersecurity Awareness Month continues, we wanted to dive even deeper into the attack methods affecting APIs. We’ve already reviewed Broken Object Level Authentication (BOLA), injection attacks, and authentication flaws; this week, we’re exploring business logic abuse (BLA). Unlike technical flaws, business logic flaws exploit how an API is designed to behave.
