2022 Year-End API ThreatStats Report

This 2022 recap report looks back at the deteriorating API threat landscape, the most prevalent types of threat vectors, the most vulnerable types of APIs, and much more to provide API security and DevOps teams the data-driven insights needed to improve API security in 2023. One of the main take-aways is that the API threat landscape is becoming ever more dangerous. We make this assessment based on the 2022 data, and specifically these four trends.

What Can be Learned from the JumpCloud Security Incident

In an ideal world, security incidents result in minimal damage, and we can learn from them to improve our future defenses. Fortunately, such appears to be the case with JumpCloud. According to JumpCloud’s blog post, its recent security incident impacted fewer than 5 JumpCloud customers and fewer than 10 devices. Moreover, working together with their incident response (IR) partner Crowdstrike (also a Salt Security partner), JumpCloud has mitigated the attack vector used by the threat actor.

API Discovery: Definition, Importance, and Step-by-Step Guide on AppTrana WAAP

The growing use of APIs in various business areas exposes organizations to new security risks. An analysis of data breaches reveals that US companies could face losses ranging from $12 billion to $23 billion in 2022 due to compromises linked to APIs. Lack of visibility plays a major role in the rise of API breaches. The lack of visibility inherently creates blind spots. How do you overcome the problem of hidden APIs?

State of API Security for Financial Services and Insurance

As financial services and insurance organizations have increasingly turned to APIs to accelerate business innovation, attackers have also changed their tactics, making APIs their prime target. This short video discusses findings from the first industry-specific version of the State of API Security report and draws on a combination of survey responses and empirical data from the Salt Cloud. Key trends revealed by the survey include.

Understanding API Attacks: Why Are They Different and How to Prevent API Attacks

Salt has just released a new resource for business and security leaders – “Understanding API Attacks: Why Are They Different and How Can You Stop Them.” Salt undertook writing this eBook as part of our ongoing commitment to educate the market about API security issues and trends. In this new eBook, we take a close look at how API attacks differ from traditional attacks, and the measures organizations can take to protect against them.

From Resurface to Graylog API Security: The Next Chapter

When I started Resurface, my core thesis was that web and API security brought unique requirements requiring purpose-built data systems. Using Splunk at scale for API monitoring was/is prohibitively expensive. Using Hadoop or Kafka requires a nerd army to run at any scale. Few data platforms include a mature web or API monitoring model, so this has to be custom-overlaid at significant expense.
