We are excited to announce a significant Salt Security API Protection Platform upgrade. We have recently introduced a new detection feature targeting a prevalent yet often neglected vulnerability: open redirect attacks. This issue is so severe that it is highlighted in the OWASP Top 10 API Security Risks!

Who doesn’t love a little glimpse into the future? For cybersecurity—and more specifically, API security - gazing into the magic crystal ball may not strictly be necessary. But there are definite trends that will evolve for 2025 and make API security even more of an imperative for modern businesses. Here are our top five.

In the fast-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, interoperability and automation are the keys to staying ahead of ever-increasing threats. That’s why Exabeam support for the OpenAPI Specification (OAS) for its Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) capabilities, revolutionizing security operations. Exabeam New-Scale Security Operations Platform is the first SOC platform to support OAS.

Zombie APIs, sometimes called “orphaned” or “forgotten” APIs, refer to endpoints that were initially deployed for a specific purpose but are no longer actively used or maintained. These APIs are often left operational within an organization’s infrastructure due to oversight or incomplete decommissioning processes.

APIs are the backbone of modern digital ecosystems, but their misuse can expose systems to cyber threats. Effective API throttling not only optimizes performance but also acts as a critical defense mechanism against abuse, such as denial-of-service attacks. Discover how this powerful strategy enhances API security and safeguards your organization’s data in an interconnected world.
