The Wallarm Security Research team is pleased to share the latest version of our API ThreatStats report. This report serves as a key resource for API, Application security practitioners. It emphasizes the need for a proactive stance in API security, advocating for continuous monitoring, regular updates, and the adoption of latest advanced security solutions.

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Bearer's advanced GitLab integration! Building on the lessons learned from our successful GitHub App, this integration aims to revolutionize the GitLab experience for our customers, enhancing both the developer and security workflow.

Could you imagine our interstate highway system without roadway bridges? I don’t think anyone would argue that bridges are not an essential part of an effective ground transportation network. So it doesn’t surprise me that when I ask people what makes a highway bridge “good,” I get quick responses with pretty consistent answers: guardrails, proper lighting, clear signage, smooth driving surface, lane markings, load capacity, structural integrity, and so on.

Today, we’re thrilled to share that Salt has launched extended capabilities to our powerful platform, adding yet another industry-first technical advancement to our trophy case! (full announcement here.) Since its founding, Salt’s been on a mission to create a platform that can detect, prioritize and solve the most complex API security challenges and risks.

Is Salt Security a fortune teller? We’re not sure if we’d go as far as to say that, but we certainly have had our fair share of precognitive moments. In today’s virtual age where everyone is utilizing and relying on digital landscapes, people’s data is constantly being put online. As technology advances and more people go online, bad actors and cyber threats use vulnerabilities in Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to get access to sensitive data.

I am thrilled to share that Wallarm, has been named a leader in the GigaOm Radar for API Security! We would like to share insights from the recent GigaOm 2023 API Security Radar report, particularly shining a spotlight on our Advanced API Security solution.

Over the past two decades, as organizations have increasingly strived to integrate security into their development processes, the role of Security Champions has evolved from an informal position to one of strategic importance. They are now responsible for prioritizing security in their projects, leveraging powerful tools like Static Application Security Testing (SAST) to achieve this goal.

In the realm of cybersecurity, the metaphor of "Leaky Buckets" has become an increasingly prevalent concern, particularly in the context of API security. This term encapsulates the hidden vulnerabilities and exposures in API infrastructures that many organizations struggle to identify and address. The digital era has amplified these challenges, with APIs becoming central to the operational fabric of numerous enterprises.
