APIs are the Language of AI. Protecting them is Critical.

APIs are the Language of AI. Protecting them is Critical. In this discussion, A10 Networks security experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto explore the emerging impact of Agentic AI on the API security landscape. They delve into how AI agents, as new API consumers, are driving an explosion in endpoints and exacerbating existing security issues, pushing API protection higher up the security practitioners' priority list.

Securing the New AI Edge: Why Salt Security Is Bringing MCP Protection to AWS WAF

The definition of the "edge" is changing. For years, security teams have focused on the traditional perimeter: web applications, public APIs, and user interfaces. We built firewalls, deployed WAFs, and established strict access controls to keep bad actors out. But with the rapid adoption of Agentic AI, the perimeter has expanded. Today, your "edge" isn't just where users connect to your apps; it's where AI agents connect to your data.

Attackers Don't Need to Breach Your API -They'll Breach the Tools That Touch It

The API supply chain is the new security blind spot. Attackers no longer need to breach your APIs directly; they can target the third-party services that connect to them. These unmanaged dependencies are now the shortest path to your sensitive data. The recent Mixpanel incident is a stark reminder of that fact.

Fixing Shadow APIs: Why True Remediation is Critical in the Age of AI

Fixing Shadow APIs: Why True Remediation is Critical in the Age of AI Agentic AI is fundamentally changing the security landscape, transforming how we think about API protection. In this insightful discussion, A10 Networks security experts Jamison Utter and Carlo Alpuerto dive deep into the challenges presented by this new wave of automation and API consumers.

Your SaaS Integrations are Leaking Sensitive Data - Salesloft /Salesforce incident #aws #apisecurity

The Salesloft/Salesforce incident revealed the danger of BLA 5: Artifact Lifetime Exploitation. The flaw is simple: the application fails to expire tokens and sessions properly. Stolen OAuth tokens that should have been short-lived were used to steal AWS keys, Snowflake tokens, and passwords. Key Takeaway: If an artifact is meant to be short-lived (a token, a session, a temporary file), it must be retired immediately upon expiration. Rotate your keys aggressively!

Say Hello to Ask Pepper AI: Turning API Security into a Conversation

In the world of cybersecurity, we have a "data" problem. We have more of it than ever before, more logs, more alerts, and definitely more APIs. But recently, this challenge has compounded. The rise of Agentic AI and Model Context Protocols (MCPs) has exploded the number of machine-to-machine connections in our environments. These agents spin up new pathways and access data in ways that are often invisible to traditional monitoring.

Optus Breach Lessons: Top 10 API Security Takeaways

In September 2022, Australia woke up to the largest data breach in its history. Optus, the country’s second-largest telecom disclosed that the personal information of nearly 10 million people had been exposed. To put that in perspective, that’s almost 40% of the entire population. Among the data spilled were 2.1 million government-issued IDs – passports, driver’s licenses, Medicare cards – the kind of information that isn’t just sensitive, but life-defining.

Bug Bounty Programs (2025) | Definition, Platforms & Costs

“Tech giants pay hackers millions to hack them – on purpose.” What once sounded like a risky experiment has now become standard practice in cybersecurity. Bug bounty programs have moved from the fringes into the mainstream because traditional defenses alone can’t keep up with today’s scale and sophistication of attacks.
