The Latest Cybersecurity News & Insights From Around The World
Link11 Highlights Growing Cybersecurity Risks and Introduces Integrated WAAP Platform
Link11, a Germany-based global IT security provider, has released insights into the evolving cybersecurity threat landscape and announced the capabilities of its Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) platform, designed to provide multi-layered defenses against modern digital threats.
The New Frontier: Why You Can't Secure AI Without Securing APIs
The release of a new KuppingerCole Leadership Compass is always a significant event for the cybersecurity industry, offering a vendor-neutral view of the market's current state. The 2025 edition, focusing on API Security and Management, is critical as it arrives at a pivotal moment for technology. It clearly presents a fact many organizations are just beginning to understand: the crucial connection between the rise of Artificial Intelligence and the necessity for robust API security.
10 Critical Capabilities of API Detection and Response
Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) solutions have become increasingly vital in today’s cybersecurity strategies, providing essential defenses against attacks targeting web applications and APIs. It’s no surprise that APIs are growing in popularity, with 80% of companies reporting that more than half of their applications depend on APIs—a figure projected to reach 88% within the next 24 months (ESG Research, 2025).
Sensitive Data Leaks: What You Don't Know Can Hurt You #dataleak #sensitivedata #dataprotection
Sensitive data isn’t always obvious attackers can find and exploit information you never realized was exposed via your APIs. In this clip, Wallarm and Oracle experts explain how insurance policies, business documents, or hidden fields can become valuable targets. Learn why broad data discovery and smarter controls are critical to protect your APIs from unexpected leaks.
Cybersecurity Frontlines Now Require Organizations to Address APIs as a Matter of Urgency
APIs operate throughout the digital world to support mobile applications, enable cloud capabilities, power GenAI tools, and conduct invisible operations during every digital interaction. As the growth of API usage accelerates, Akamai’s 2024 API Security Impact Report shows that organizations find it difficult to align their security efforts with the expanding risk domain.
Comprehensive MCP Security Checklist: Protecting Your AI-Powered Infrastructure
With innovation comes risk. As organizations race to build AI-first infrastructure, security is struggling to keep pace. Multi-Agentic Systems – those built on Large Language Models (LLMs) and Multi-Component Protocols (MCP) - bring immense potential, but also novel vulnerabilities that traditional tools weren’t designed to handle.
Top 25 Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) of 2026: Cloudflare Alternatives, Features & Pricing
In today’s hyper-connected world, Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) have become one of the most critical layers in a modern security stack. As businesses shift more operations, data, and user experiences online, web apps and APIs are increasingly under siege – from basic bot scraping to sophisticated logic abuse and zero-day exploits.
API Vulnerabilities and Attack Surface Management
ThreatX by A10 Networks: API Vulnerabilities and Attack Surface Management In this video, Carlo Alpuerto of A10 Networks discusses API security with Beau Hamilton of SourceForge. He explains that API security is a broad term that includes addressing vulnerabilities in the development cycle, which takes time and involves various stages like QA, staging, and UAT.
Beyond the Prompt: Securing the "Brain" of Your AI Agents
Imagine an autonomous AI agent tasked with a simple job: generating a weekly sales report. It does this reliably every Monday. But one week, it doesn't just create the report. It also queries the customer database, exports every single record, and sends the file to an unknown external server. Your firewalls saw nothing wrong. Your API gateway logged a series of seemingly valid calls. So, what happened? The agent wasn't hacked. Its mind was changed.
